By Zack Orsborn Daily Journal JACKSON – In efforts to include more civil rights history into classroom objectives, the William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation will be hosting a free education workshop for teachers in Oxford on Saturday. The workshop – an initiative sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities’ “Humanities in the Public Square” – focuses on civil rights literacy by training participants to analyze systemic inequities in the Mississippi school system and teaching how to curate oral histories from the Civil Rights era. The William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation, founded in 1999, works in communities and classrooms to “end all division and discrimination based on difference.” “I think it’s important to be familiar with the history that brought us to where we are now,” said Chris Schultz, director of development and communication with the WWIRR.
