How should we tell the story of OUR Milwaukee?

Milwaukee Roots is a place-based, inquiry-centered approach to teaching the history and civic engagement of Milwaukee’s communities—especially its communities of color, indigenous nations, and other historically marginalized communities. Through the development and implementation of contextually meaningful history and civics instruction in area classrooms, MKE Roots aims to transform how Milwaukee’s students see themselves within the civic landscape of our city: as change agents, community contributors, and citizens who matter.
