My Take
SUPERB!! I cannot get enough of the readings.
How I Use It
I use a TON of the Facing History resources!! The readings are incredible and I especially like the "Connections" at the end, which have a range of critical thinking questions for students. Facing History is great about always making connections between history and present. There are also some really great ready to use resources.

Some difficult themes especially with regard to civil rights issues, but so important. They also do a great job of addressing bystander vs. upstander issues today, connecting them with historical lessons.

Inequality and Injustice materials

I found that it was a little confusing at first to find the materials. The top page is lacking in direction. It was through random clicking that I was able to find the link for the collections. Once in the collections I found a ton of information including lesson plans, study guides and Audio/Video Collections. Go under Educator Resources and then collections. Because of this organization I think it would be a little difficult for students to find what they were looking at. I would probably provide students with a direct hyperlink to the collection I wanted them to use.
This website will be particularly helpful for those who are teaching about human rights violations, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the history of racism.
