Growing up involves deciding which part of the inheritance you want to claim as your own, and how much you have to pay for the rest of it.

They may be accessed using tabs below. OYH does not charge for non-commercial use of its programs. All OYH materials are available in full text as digital OER Commons resources subject to a Creative Commons license, here. After school programs are encouraged to start Own It! using the Own It! Handbook for Ages 11-14 (15 lessons) or the Own It! Handbook for Ages 14-18 (13 lessons). Students who have experienced one of these initial programs will be better prepared for the more advanced handbooks: · Own It! Handbook - Does Democracy Matter in My Life? (5 lessons) · Own It! Handbook - 21st Century Health Challenges & Inequities (5 lessons). Each handbook includes lessons designed to last 45-60 minutes. However, the program is flexible. Facilitators are encouraged to adjust sessions for their individual group by expanding or adding to suggested activities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b51f22c7c93279ba180a7f7/1564084670964-MMGDUVU3DTNVN1VD8WNF/black-history-month-teacher-door-decoration-5c5d39f9261a9__700.jpg Overview - HISTORY SPRINGBOARD Own It! uses American history and an individual's or family's past as sources for personal development. Irrespective of one’s age, heritage, background, or education, the past matters. It is what one inherits as a person living in America (both the good and the bad). It is the starting point for the story we each write with our lives. Life is history, and history is life.

They are more conscious about living in a diverse society and having power to create a better future and seek reconciliation in each’s unique way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b51f22c7c93279ba180a7f7/1535039318532-96EFSJ69VJZY4T31CF1L/BG+Club.jpeg Samples from available modules - Modular OYHL develops leaders and citizens with greater awareness. They both “own" our hard history and feel empowered to work for a future that fulfills the Promise of America for all at last. OYHL is adaptable to be a full-year elective, a semester elective, or enrichment components of an existing survey or elective course. Each module integrates experiential historical learning, examination of related contemporary issues, and personal leadership development.     https://www.ownyourhistory.us/news-updates daily 0.75 2021-06-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b51f22c7c93279ba180a7f7/1565461242140-XNGI55D90GB3BVMPZVVJ/20090409_090404c-010.jpg News & Updates - News & Updates https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b51f22c7c93279ba180a7f7/1624914590221-N4KYCH1N2H5HVIHAU4D8/Screenshot+2021-06-28+155207.png News & Updates - OYH – Supporting Democracy in 2021 with Historical Truth-Seeking In a June 16, 2021 Zoom presentation, Bob Eager spoke to the Coffee House Club in New York City.

We frequently ignore aspects of our past that are contrary to our national ideals. OYHL confronts denial and leads to ownership of both American greatness and a hard history of inequality, xenophobia, poverty, discrimination, and injustice based on color ["race"], gender, ethnicity, religion, and LGBTQ+ status.

"Owning your history" is transforming, because facing our historical skeletons lets us move beyond them. More conscious about living in a diverse society, students become empowered to seek the reconciliation our country needs.

He was also a Revolutionary War general and a signer of the Declaration of Independence as a member of the Continental Congress. As owner of a 'northern plantation,' he had much in common with Southern members of the Continental Congress. He was close friends with Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. The Floyds owned slaves into the 1830s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b51f22c7c93279ba180a7f7/1559093542831-L139XC1AFBOBHVTOC1CF/3.png Our Founder's History - Railroad Tycoon and Philanthropist Dorothy Gerard Hopkins Eager, Bob's mother, was from the close-knit Baltimore Hopkins family. Her cousin, Johns Hopkins (1795-1873), was chairman of the B&O Railroad. He founded and endowed The Johns Hopkins University and Hospital. While he has long been portrayed as a Quaker who opposed slavery, recent census research reveals that four enslaved men were in his household in 1850. Hopkins’ will specified that the hospital serve all patients, including Blacks. However, the hospital facilities were segregated until the 1950s, when the first Black undergraduate was admitted to the University.
