The Concord Review History Camp     This Summer, for the seventh year, The Concord Review History Camp will offer a chance for secondary students who qualify, including rising ninth graders, to spend two weeks working with our instructor/coaches on serious history research papers on topics of their own choosing. These papers, when completed, may be submitted for consideration by The Concord Review.  Since 1987, The Concord Review has published 1,362 serious history papers by secondary students from 46 states and 41 other countries. The most recent issue had essays from Hungary, India, Korea, Vietnam, and many U.S. states. 152 of our authors have gone to Harvard, and the work of our authors is recognized by many other highly selective colleges.   The 2020 History Camp will have a day camp in San Francisco from June 8 to June 19, a residential camp in Boston from June 22 to July 3, and a day camp in Seoul from July 22 to July 31. Application available at tcr.org. Send questions to Steven Lee at steven.lee at tcr.org.    |

The site is a National Historic Landmark, and "May 4th" is recognized for changing public opinion about the Vietnam War; setting precedent in the US Supreme Court; changing National Guard armament policy; helping to lower the voting age to 18; and reminding us all to practice and protect the First Amendment.   You'll work with the best scholar-experts to develop lesson plans for your students (in all disciplines). You'll have access to much electronic information to use with students. Workshop faculty include witnesses to the shootings, two surviving casualties of the shootings, K-12 experts, experts on movements of the 1960s, and an Ohio National guardsman on site during the shootings.   Find full details and the application form at May4NEH.org. You'll by notified by March 27 about your application. All accepted applicants receive a $1200 stipend.    |
