In this workshop Dr. Kelly Lytle Hernández explores how U.S. immigration policies, shaped by laws, court rulings, and border enforcement, have developed over time and continue to influence contemporary practices such as immigration enforcement, deportations, and detention.

Since 2018, this partnership has been committed to developing inclusive, community-rooted LGBTQ+ curriculum for California schools. These lessons highlight the power of queer joy and resistance, which our students and communities need now more than ever.

These lessons were created by local K-12 teachers through a project led by the One Institute, The UCLA History-Geography Project, Out for Safe Schools® at the Los Angeles LGBT Center, and ONE Archives at the USC Libraries.

Continuity and change are key historical concepts. Let's use literacy and local history to help students understand movements for change in the past, present and future. Lesson link:

In that spirit, we would like to offer a teaching resource about an important historical moment in the movement for immigrant rights in Los Angeles, the Proposition 187 protests of 1994. In this lesson, students will examine the different ways activists resisted against Prop 187.

This lesson provides a powerful way to connect local history with environmental awareness and inspire meaningful conversations in the classroom.
