Hi, all,
One possibility is to use the existing interviews from our Trailblazers of Diversity Oral History Project -- to develop lesson plans. They are here: http://www.aejmc.org/home/?s=trailblazers
Most of the folks interviewed have indexes for their interviews as well. They ALL address issues of class, social justice, race. Who is good at putting together exercises that use these interviews?
We have many more interviews to do -- and if you are able, please contact [log in to unmask] to sign up. He'll have equipment in San Francisco. Our consent forms, etc. are at: http://www.aejmc.org/home/2013/10/diversity-oral-history/
Just got one in recently conducted by Linda Shockley, the ME for the Dow Jones Newspaper Fund. She's awfully busy, but she did a wonderful interview for Trailblazers.
So, please step up -- let's come up with lesson plans for these to help our students understand diversity -- and do an interview or two for the project.
All best,
Maggie

Sounds like we might have a jump start on a panel idea for 2016 with this article George has shared with us. One use for pitching this idea might be how to infuse all of these ideas into J- Education so as to strategically increase the numbers in newsrooms in coming years.
