    Wonderful blog post in Teaching with the Library Primary Sources and Ideas for Educators - Political Parties and Primary Sources: Civic Participation that demonstrates the importance of oral histories. 

    When exploring the Library’s blogs, encourage students to investigate also the embedded links that often lead to additional rich information such as this image:

    Signs at 1964 Democratic National Convention

    African American and white supporters of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party holding signs in front of the convention hall at the 1964 Democratic National Convention, Atlantic City, New Jersey; some signs read "One man, one vote, MFDP"

    How can stories like that of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party lead to active student civic participation during election seasons?
