WE THE PEOPLE: CREATED EQUAL

At America’s founding, the Declaration of Independence proclaimed that “all men are created equal.” Since that time, Americans have struggled to understand the meaning of equality. The latest poster in the National Endowment for the Humanities “We the People Bookshelf” series, Created Equal, features books and other resources teachers and parents can use with children from kindergarten through high school-age to explore what universal human equality has meant over the decades. Novels and stories about slavery, the Civil Rights movement, the Civil War, and even the Ugly Duckling and Native American Chief Joseph all help children learn and talk about equality in American history and their own lives. For a copy of this colorful, free poster, send your name and address to the Federal Citizen Information Center, Dept. 506P, Pueblo, CO 81009. Or call toll-free 1 (888) 8 PUEBLO, that’s 1 (888) 878-3256, and ask for Item 506P. And visit www.pueblo.gsa.gov to read or print this and hundreds of other FCIC publications for free.
