I've used this blog primarily to post URLs of history, archaeology, or education stories and articles. However, the last couple of weekends have been worth jotting a note about. Last Saturday, was the WSCSS teacher conference in the International District with workshops on the Japanese American internment during WWII. The locations included the Nisei Veterans Hall, the Wing Luke Asian Museum, and the Chinese Information Services Center. It was also the weekend after the Chinese and Vietnamese New Year so there were a few other things going on too.

Today, was a teacher conference concerning the Holocaust, antisemitism, Nazi propaganda, and the Rwanda Genocide. There were some wonderful presentations and workshops. The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum provided excellent materials and some rather pricey books for us. It was all free. It's pretty amazing the information they provided us.
