This summer, the University of Kansas will host 35 teachers from across the nation for a seminar on civil rights and politics. Shawn Leigh Alexander, director of the Langston Hughes Center at KU, said that holding the seminar in Kansas made it easy to come up with a topic.
The seminar is titled "Presidential Politics, Civil Rights and the Road to Brown." Applications for the seminar will be accepted until February 1. More information is available online at gilderlehrman.com or by calling the Langston Hughes Center at the University of Kansas (785-864-5044).
