As we head into President's Day weekend, I am sharing three opportunities for educator enrichment this spring. Webinar: Utah Histories of Housing and Communities of Color Wednesday, February 23 @ 7:00 pm Part of the Utah State Historical Society 125th Anniversary Speaker Series, this evening session will focus on Utah's Bankhead family and housing problems among people of color in the state. The panel has been organized by Tonya Reiter, author of "Not In My Neighborhood: The 1939 Controversy over Segregated Housing in Salt Lake City" in the winter 2022 issue of Utah Historical Quarterly, and will feature perspectives of two Bankheads, Kellen Perkins and Nichol Bordeaux. Register for the event here. Details for the entire speaker series here. 2022 National Council for History Education Virtual Conference March 17-20 The great thing about NCHE's virtual conferences is that you can watch every session when it works for you.
