The National Center offers innovative and engaging programs that challenge students to collaborate, think critically, and participate actively in discussion, debate, and civic action.

The National Center programs are based upon the following premises:

We, the people, shape democracy;

I, too, can shape democracy; and

Those who have struggled for freedom and equality have extended democracy's reach for all.

Fighting for Democracy Student Visits

Fighting for Democracy is an innovative interactive exhibition based on the lives, actions, and decisions of a diverse group of individuals who sought equal rights for their families and communities during World War II. It is designed to engage youth participants in the content and to provide a safe space for them to vocalize their opinions through a facilitated experience.

The exhibition presents information in photographs, pull-out cards, quotes, oral history clips, educational activities and discussions.
