Clark Atlanta University News February 16, 2011 Clark Atlanta University to Host Internet Videoconference on "Teaching About the Holocaust" Collaboration Uplifts, Reaffirms Diverse Perspectives on African-American History Month Groups Target Teachers in Tactical Pursuit of World Peace Clark Atlanta University (CAU) President Carlton E. Brown today announced that the University's School of Arts and Sciences, along with its School of Education, will host a forum with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, "Teaching About the Holocaust," a regional Internet videoconference for teachers on Friday, Feb. 25, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Clark Atlanta's Cole Science Research Center Auditorium. Registration for the event is free and open to all teachers. Designed for educators who teach about the Holocaust, the videoconference also will be streamed via the Internet to Kennesaw State and Valdosta State Universities. The agenda includes guidelines for teaching about the Holocaust, an overview of Nazi racial ideology, a review of cutting-edge digital and electronic resources from the Robert W. Woodruff Library, as well as an historical panel discussion. Teachers participating in the Clark Atlanta University videoconference also will experience a full day of complementary programming, which includes mini-sessions on evaluating and contextualizing photography, Internet search instruction and assistance, a related art history presentation and a post-conference reception. Teachers can register for the conference by emailing SASoffice@cau.edu or by calling 404-880-6770. The collaboration aligns squarely with Clark Atlanta University's long, deeply rooted tradition of pursuing justice and human rights. The decision to host this event during African-American History Month also embraces the University's belief in diversity, as well as the idea that communities must not isolate themselves in the pursuit of peace and human dignity. CAU also is committed to the exchange of histories, ideas and culture, particularly in seeking solutions to the modern-day genocide in Darfur, Rwanda and other parts of the world. The goal of this collaboration is to better understand the roots of hate and to uplift hope. For a full agenda to the free videoconference and more information, educators should go to www.cau.edu.
