When the curtain goes up on the 96th NCSS Annual Conference, Dec. 2–4, 2016, I hope you will find yourself, along with 4,000 of your social studies colleagues, in the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in our nation’s capital.

If I could have personally selected the city for the conference this year, it would be Washington, D.C. I never go there without seeing and experiencing new things, and learning so much. You will too. Learning new ideas and approaches from your colleagues, and experiencing what Washington has to offer a social studies educator will be your tangible rewards for attending and participating in the conference.

We have engaged more than 20 Washington area organizations to conduct pre-conference clinics and tours. The exciting list of hosts on pages 6–7 includes the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, the Smithsonian’s new National Museum of African American History and Culture, National Archives, Capitol Visitors Center, National Public Radio, and more. The tour sites (page 8) include Gettysburg, Monticello, Fredericksburg (VA), and Baltimore/Annapolis.

We have a list of amazing speakers and important vital issue panels, all of them featured in the pages that follow. We also have more than 600 presentations addressing the latest topics and strategies, covering all grade levels and

subjects, ready for review at www.socialstudies.org/conference/sessionschedule. You’ll learn many new ideas and approaches to use and integrate immediately. In addition to one-hour sessions, poster presentations, two-hour workshops, and half-and full-day clinics, this year we are introducing 30-minute power sessions, providing tightly focused content and strategies.

Don’t miss the many great social events that incorporate Washington institutions, old and new, listed on page 10. Take full advantage of the great options this conference offers.

In addition to the professional knowledge and skills you’ll gain by attending, I hope this Washington conference creates in each of us a zeal for our profession and organization, with advocacy at the hub. When we make ourselves and what we teach known to policymakers and our U.S. Congress, we are vibrant. Come to Washington to help make that statement. There is strength in our numbers.

The conference theme, “Civic Learning and Cultural Inquiry in a Changing World,” could not be more relevant. I look forward to see-ing you in the shadow of the Capitol. — NCSS President, Peggy S. Jackson

Speakers

John LewisRepresentative John Lewis has served Georgia’s 5th Congressional District for thirty years. He has dedicated his life to protecting human rights, securing civil liberties, and building what he calls “The Beloved Community” in America. Rep. Nancy Pelosi has called Rep. Lewis “the conscience of the U.S. Congress.” He was a leader in the civil rights movement, serving as chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, an architect and speaker at the 1963

March on Washington, a leader of the 1965 Voting Rights March that became known as “Bloody Sunday,” an organizer of many sit-ins and voter registration drives, and a Freedom Rider. Despite more than 40 arrests, physical attacks and serious injuries, Rep. Lewis remains a devoted advocate of the philosophy of nonviolence.

Bryan StevensonBryan Stevenson is the founder and Executive Director of the Equal Justice Initiative. A MacArthur fellow, he is a widely acclaimed public interest lawyer who has dedicated his career to help-ing the poor, the incarcerated and the condemned. Mr. Stevenson has success-fully argued several cases in the United States Supreme Court and recently won an historic ruling that mandatory life-without-parole sentences for all children 17 and younger are unconstitutional. He is the author of The New York Times

bestseller, Just Mercy. Mr. Stevenson is also a Professor of Law at the New York University School of Law.

Kris PerryKris Perry is Executive Director of the First Five Years Fund, an advocacy orga-nization that works with policymakers, experts, and business leaders and advo-cates to advance federal investment in quality early childhood education for disadvantaged children from birth to age five. She has dedicated her career to ensuring that children grow up healthy and ready to succeed in school and in life. Ms. Perry was also the lead plaintiff in the Perry v. Hollingsworth legal chal-

lenge to California’s Proposition 8, the landmark Supreme Court marriage equality case.

Terrence RobertsTerrence Roberts is one of the “Little Rock Nine,” who desegregated Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1957. As a 15-year-old eleventh grader, he joined eight other students to go to a formerly segregated public high school. Dr. Roberts is now CEO of Terrence Roberts Consulting, a man-agement consultant firm devoted to fair and equitable practices in business and industry. He is the author of Lessons

from Little Rock, a memoir describing his experience at Central High School and the salient lessons to be learned from that episode.

Mary Beth TinkerIn 1965, saddened by news of the Vietnam War, Mary Beth Tinker and other students wore black armbands to school in Iowa to mourn the dead and call for a Christmas truce. For that, they were suspended. The American Civil Liberties Union challenged the suspension in court, leading to the landmark 1969 Supreme Court ruling for students’ rights in Tinker v. Des Moines that neither teachers nor students “shed their constitutional rights…at the schoolhouse gate.” Ms. Tinker now travels the country

on a “Tinker Tour” to promote civic education, student journalism, youth rights, and youth voices.

Roxanne Dunbar-OrtizRoxanne Dunbar-Ortiz grew up in rural Oklahoma, the daughter of a tenant farmer and part-Indian mother. She has been active in the international Indigenous movement for more than four decades. She taught in the newly established Native American Studies Program at California

State University, Hayward, and helped found the Departments of Ethnic Studies and Women’s Studies. Her 1977 book The Great Sioux Nation was the fundamental document at the first international con-ference on Indigenous peoples of the Americas, held in Geneva. Dr. Dunbar-Ortiz is the author or editor of seven other books, including most recently, An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States.

“Demosclerosis: The Challenge of Moving America Forward in a Hyper-Partisan Age”

Michael Gerson, The Washington Post

Ruth MarcusThe Washington Post

Moderated by Ray Suarez

Two of the nation’s leading columnists and commentators look back at the 2016 presidential election and look forward to the transition to a new administration and recently elected Congress amid the bitter partisanship that has made consensus and compromise in Washington so elusive. They will share their insights into how the country reached this point and what it will take to move beyond it.

Vital Issue Sessions

Screening of Our MockingbirdOur Mockingbird tells the story of a remarkable high school production of the Harper Lee novel. The film uses Lee’s story as a lens to view race, class, gender, and justice, then and now. Woven through the film is the story of two extraordinarily dif-ferent high schools in Birmingham, Alabama—one black, one white—that collaborate on a remarkable production of the adapted play, To Kill a Mockingbird.

“Germany and the European Refugee Crisis”In 2015 over 1 million refugees came to Germany from war-torn countries such as Syria and Afghanistan, rep-resenting the largest refugee crisis in Europe since the end of World War II. A panel of experts will discuss how these newcomers have transformed German politics and society; how Germans have responded to this crisis; and how Germany can move forward integrating this new segment of its population.

“Reflections on the News and Information Aftermath of Ferguson”

Krissah Thompson The Washington Post

Peter Adams The News Literacy

Project

Steven Becton Facing History and

Ourselves

White House Transitions: Moving Out & Moving In How does a first family prepare to move into the White House? How does a President-elect plan to govern from day one—and through the first 100 days? What role does the outgoing President play in assisting the newcomers? More than ever, the need for an organized transition is critical. Martha Joynt Kumar, director of the White House Transition Project and emeritus professor of politi-cal science at Towson University, will discuss keys to a successful White House transition with a panel of scholars and former White House staff.

The fatal police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014 and its aftermath ignited national debates about race, polic-ing and justice in the United States. These events also provided fodder for rich, meaningful discussions about the credibility and impact of news and other information in the digital age. Join Facing History and Ourselves and the News Literacy Project for a timely panel discussion about the unique opportunity provided by the “information aftermath” of Ferguson to explore the vital role that credible information plays in a robust democracy.
