Will help Public Health officials and emergency authorities make decisions, but they should shut down events, weather reactions to the pandemic are working. That is the power of gis. We are going to transition from medical geography to how gis can help you moving forward because you are going to leave here in a few moments from this online conference and you are back to the reality we live in. Think of, in your work, when does location matter . About distance . Direction . Territory,d, region, or, with my kids, i say turf. Working from the regional, national, global scale. If you teach and you have any of these themes, you need to consider getting gis a try, particularly as many of us will be teaching online, i will share resources that are ready to go in which you can have your students doing gis at home and it might not be as powerful as you in front of the class, but it will be pretty powerful given that you are far away. To show you one option, we will be eating every day. I have an activity called map that recipe. Tuesdays are taco tuesdays in my house. Probably the cleanest my counter has ever been. Idea of the this Great Exchange and agriculture, every day we cook, youre living a history lesson. How can you use gis to do that . First, take your kids out, to the greatest change activity. Show them how food is diffused. Then say, where is the her of the food we are eating today . Pull up a recipe, let each ingredient be a row injured data. Use the directions as you use the geographic inquiry, show them, this is how much corn we grow, watch them go, i had no idea we grew that much corn. Most of it is not eaten. Directions that i will share with you, create a geoform, a form students fill out in which they map out every ingredient, this is the ingredient, this is the dish, i want to put it on a map. Have them put it on a map. These are ingredient spy students put on the map a few weeks ago, learning about agriculture. We used this with my World History class, teaching about exploration. There is a different pattern for ingredients that there are four recipes. Recipes come from many other areas that were colonized in the areas where ingredients were coming from. Why they that is why there is a glow in italy and france. There is also the will of the silk road. A lot of recipes we enjoy today come from western europe. Then you can say, like the student,les, he is a he is a native of tanzania, we researched his favorite recipe, there is a tool called connect origins to destination. Think airline map. What you think, what is going on here . He is like, i have no idea. My native dish is so global. Now you are learning. You got more out of this than you did out of reading about it in a textbook. Then you can say, lets shift that to a story map. Find some more interesting things. This is when on a student who did hamburger pie and found the word casserole comes from the french word for saucepan. More etymology, i like that. Then shifted into a story map. Have them tell you the story of their favorite recipe and connected to the age of exploration cultural diffusion. Then, just for fun tomatoes on snow on them and make a heat map. I did not have to give you research from old archaeology studies, your ingredients showed me the course of World History. Fertile crescent, india, southeast asia, right there on the map. Cool, iaid, that is dont have time for that, i want something quick and easy, give the geo inquiries a go. They are ready for you. The script is written. Short,son the script is we realize teachers dont follow scripts. I will also make sure you have in the resources at the bottom of this keynote, links to worksheets for your students so they dont see the answer key. Look at the geo inquiries, see which one to support your research. My wife is starting a book club for local students in the Area Neighbors and so forth. They will use the water teens the watsons go to birmingham to conceptualize things for my second and fourth grade children. Check out the story maps. Story map gallery. Have your students sit with them. What didhem and say, you find surprising, interesting . If you find anything troubling . Then, if you are having to cover curriculum and you want to review world war i, check out this project on digitizing, a project i worked on in the past. Remember that saying, produced a single, improve the noise. This is the government commissioned map of the uganda offensive. The battle was a mess. The teachers on the map and digitized it into an interactive, online map. Table, top is the the map, we then went with a group of teachers and collected digital artifacts from the western front so you could bring the western front home to your students. Take your students on a virtual field trip honoring service and achievements and sacrifice during world war i. Many students find it hard to believe there are over 14,000 american soldiers buried along the western front at the cemetery. This takes students on a field trip in which they learn why they are there and why the u. S. Government cares about this spot. They see 3d videos of trenches and so forth, all in a very interactive gis map. The website is called teaching and mapping the geography of the meuse argonne offensive. There are essays, lessons, and it want to through it. If you are looking for a way to jazz up world war i for your newents, there is a activity check this site out. ,then we also have the Virginia Geographic Alliance at the library of congress in which we developed story maps on placing primary sources. They were presented in a poster today. These are story maps designed by teachers of u. S. And World History on benchmark topics you have taught or will teach. They are dynamic, ready to go, you get lesson plans with answer keys, a contextual essay, no experience, no problem. Not much energy, not much time, no problem. The activities available, one, mapping and placing americas journey westward, looking at the impact of the evolution of Political Parties in america, looking at the causes leading up to the civil war and the steppingstones to war, placing u. S. Immigration, placing u. S. Global expansion, over there the story of the , American Expeditionary forces. This map does use one of the maps from the meuse argonne offenses, but it really looks at the mobilization of forces in america leading up to world war i, so more than the activities i showed you previously. Looking at how that looks differently when you shift locations, shift lenses. Looking at world war ii in the pacific, island topping, and this shows an interactive graph that shows what would happen to the casualty rate as u. S. Forces got closer to japan. U. S. Involvement in World War Ii Allied victories in europe. , placing cold war conflicts. When i get to this point, this was created by a wonderful teacher of western albemarle high school, she wanted a one stop shop for her students to learn all about the geographic complexities in the cold war. This is the story map for you. Placing civil rights in time and place and looking at the evolution of segregation in the united states, and the fight to end that. This places civil rights in time and place around the united states. Then, lets say you like, i like all this, but im curious about the coronavirus dashboard, go check out how you can create your own monitoring covid19 dashboard. It is a one hour activity. Then, if you look at this bentley, this shortened web address, this is a survey. If you think about it we are , mapping out our responses to where coronavirus and covid is occurring around the world. This is a survey to allow teachers and educators to map out how we are responding, how we are teaching and so forth, and they have a data dashboard that is tracking our responses. Please go in here, and lets share other stories about this, not just the virus, but how we as a society and a people are responding. Thank you. This is so exciting. I want a book on everything at once. On behalf of everybody, we thank you so much. Chris volunteered to do this a week ago. That is amazing. He put this together and realized there was a need to get this out there, and we are delighted he was able to put this together. Chris i want to give a quick shout out, thank you to you and the staff for pulling together an online conference in five days, and thank you for having me. Sunday at 3 00 eastern, a study session for the advanced placement u. S. History exam. Jason stacy and Matthew Ellington coauthors of fabric of a nation, a brief history with skills and sources for the ap course, explain how this years exam is structured differently, provides strategies for the free response answers, and demonstrate how to analyze historical documents.

Up next on lectures in history, Wellesley College professor Breanna Greer debunks some of the myths about rosa parks on the montgomery bus boycott. She asserts rosa parks was not first africanamerican to refuse to give up her seat and that the boycott had planning and precedent. She also explores why the simple the simplified of this history has become so widespread. Prof. Greer our focus today is the montgomery bus boycott. Thats what you read your sources for, except the pain article that gave you a larger focus. To do that, we will go back to our discussion of origin points, our favorite slide. Which you are going to be so sick of. Representing the narrative arc of the popular story of the Civil Rights Movement. We are going back to our topic of origin points, again, with the objective of troubling it. One, putting those events in context, but also troubling the idea of them as origin points. Last week, we discussed brown v. Board of education, the decision, response, the impact, but also the legacy. I want to talk more about the legacy as we go forward. We are not going to do that today. On tuesday, we spent time talking about the emmett till case, the lynching of emmett till in august of 1955. We used a mix of secondary and primary sources to consider how ideologies of race, gender, and justice impacted that case and impacted the lived experiences of the people in the case. I wanted to take a moment to pull out and say that this week, what happens this week that is of significance in relationship to the till case. Anybody paying attention . Yeah . [laughter] go ahead. Student [indiscernible] legislation. Prof. Greer they passed the emmett till antilynching act, it designates lynching as a hate crime under federal law. This legislation is coming 65 years after tills lynching and 120 years after Congress First considered antilynching legislation. That is 120 years of Congress Failing to, choosing not to pass such legislation. In 2005, congress did see fit to apologize to the descendents of lynching victims, but it took another 15 years for both the senate and the house to pass the legislation, and it will go to the white house for signing by president trump. You can imagine there are a lot of responses going onto this. The prominent one is, why now . People are asking, is this commemorative . Is it a cause for celebration or a cause for concern . Is this preemptive . What is the context now that is making this bill feasible within congress, when it has been 120 years and that hasnt been the case . I want to take a moment to point out ida b. Wells. A lot of people are talking about this antilynching legislation are asking about wells. Ida b. Wells was an activist and journalist in the late 19th century who publicly and doggedly and consistently was condemning and publicizing lynching. Most notably through her publication, a red record. She did this at great personal cost. Her printing outfit was burned down and she was run out of town. You can understand why some people might say not that emmett till should not be attached, but where is the recognition of ida b. Wells . We will come back to wells when talking about montgomery. Going back to origin points, i wanted to point that out. Today, we focus on the montgomery bus boycott, and i want to put it in the timeline that we were talking about, or that i showed you last time. So, we have the brown v. Board of education decision in may of 1954. Immediately after white citizen counsel for him. Then we have brown v. Board of education ii the following year, may of 1955. Then the emmett till lynching in august of 1955. I dont think a lot of people realize how close to the till lynching the montgomery bus boycott was. Rosa parks was arrested on december 1 of 1955, a thursday. The following monday on december 5, the montgomery bus boycott begins. That is a little bit of context for you, to put it in a visual form. We are going to use the readings today to consider the bus boycott. These readings gave you a lot of information about events and circumstances leading up to, but not so much information necessarily about the boycott. We will also talk about that and we can continue the conversation in our next lecture as well, and certainly if people have questions. I want to focus on montgomery because, more than any of the other origin events we have talked about, montgomery is most often cited as the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement within the popular narrative. That assigned the popular narrative of the boycott itself, in the larger narrative, to be somewhat problematic. I want to dig into that myth, that story of the montgomery bus boycott. In doing that, i think an effective way of doing that is looking at a central figure in that myth, rosa parks. I want to look at what i call the mythic rosa parks. I want to make a real distinction between rosa parks as a person, as a woman, and rosa parks as an icon. We are going to be talking about both. Those are two separate things. I want to ask you if you can give me, some of you may have more information about rosa parks. We have a lot more Information Available to us now. But if you could give me a sense of the popular narrative, the enduring narrative or idea of rosa parks, as you likely learned when you were in Elementary School, or typically celebrated through black History Month. Anybody want to go up there . Student i think what i learned about her in Elementary School was definitely she refused to give up her seat. She was just, like an ordinary , woman coming from work, and it was a manifestation of the common attitudes of the time. She was just an ordinary woman and a martyr, honestly. That is how it was portrayed. Prof. Greer she became a martyr in that sense. Anyone else . Student i guess the way i learned about it is that she was the catalyst for this movement, as if she was the only woman or person that had been arrested for not giving up their seat. As if it was a single incident that happened, and it was her. Prof. Greer yeah. As much as the montgomery bus boycott is seen as the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement, she is seen as the beginning of the bus boycott. Thats where the title mother of the Civil Rights Movement comes from. On our best day, how many of us can hope for such a title . But going off of those points, she was typically described as this elderly woman. She was 42. I need that not to be elderly. She was not elderly. She was described as an elderly seamstress, many accounts did not give her a name. An elderly seamstress with tired feet who spontaneously took a stand by sitting down and singlehandedly sparked the modern black freedom movement. Right . I dont want to deny her any of her importance. This is actually the rosa parks that, with the best of intentions, my mother introduced me to when i was very young. I held onto that picture all the way through college, all the way to my history classes in college, well into my graduate studies. It was only when i started doing my own research as a masters student that that image started to crumble. And not just crumble, but become really frustrating to me. I think that this ideal of parks really frustrates or negates her actual history, particularly her activist history. In the recent years, we have had historians who are really working or have really worked to break down that kind of idea and to give us a more complicated picture. I want to point to these two books in particular. Anyone read any of them . At the dark end of the street, by daniel mcguire, and the rebellious life of mrs. Rosa parks. That already tells you it will be a corrective narrative. If you have a desire to know more about rosa parks as a woman , as an activist, these are great sources. I am drawing on them some to do that with you today. I want to use these books or use the information i have from books in my own research to kind of deconstruct that myth. I am going to ask you if you know more about rosa parks, or if what you are holding onto you can just raise your hand, you dont have to answer if what you are holding onto, for how many people you are holding onto this typical, iconic idea. That gets celebrated in black History Month . For how many of you is that the image you are most familiar with . Wow, ok. [laughter] all right. That is re
