This year’s conference theme focuses on Maryland’s Civil Rights Journey: Then & Now. Inspired by Governor Wes Moore’s proclamation that 2024 was Maryland’s Year of Civil Rights in order to honor the 60th anniversary of the signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Marylanders’ contributions to the Civil Rights Movement. MDCSS seeks to celebrate the learning that took place in 2024 and continue the journey by dedicating this year’s conference to the ongoing evolution of the Civil Rights Movement in Maryland. As Governor Moore said,
“Studying history isn’t just about knowing what happened in the past. It’s about knowing our power in the present. That’s what Maryland’s Year of Civil Rights is about…Let’s practice our history, let’s protect our history, and let’s participate in our history, by making history of our own.”
Social studies teachers are in a unique position to honor and uplift Maryland’s Civil Rights history as well as inspire future advocates as Civil Rights Issues continue to evolve.
