Posted on January 25, 2013

Voice of Witness is honored to be a community co-sponsor of the Fred T. Korematsu Institute for Civil Rights and Education’s Heroes Celebration, taking place on January 27th at San Francisco’s Herbst Theatre.

We have been partnering with the Korematsu Institute for two years to offer teachers in their educational network a free resource featuring Patriot Acts: Narratives of Post-9/11 Injustice excerpts and lesson plans, as well as offering oral history workshops and trainings to Arab, Muslim, Middle Eastern and South Asian Communities in San Francisco.

Voice of Witness is a non-profit organization that uses oral history to illuminate contemporary human rights crises in the U.S. and around the world. Founded by author Dave Eggers and physician/human rights scholar Lola Vollen, Voice of Witness publishes a book series that depicts human rights injustices through the stories of the men and women who experience them. The Voice of Witness Education Program brings these stories, and the issues they reflect, into high schools and impacted communities through oral history-based curricula and holistic educator support.
