Chicago, IL, 60605-1203A special workshop that will focus on how we, as individuals and as a society, choose to represent our histories.
Ryan Hollon will lead the workshop, using A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn, as well as text, images, storytelling, and dialogue to show how the histories we were taught in grade school don't always reflect our own stories.
Ryan will then help us reflect on the ways we can seek out and pass on our own histories.
Special note: Open to all NWA writers; participants will receive a copy of Howard Zinn's book A People's History of the United States and public transit cards.
