2009 Scholars visit Facing History and Ourselves

Posted July 20, 2009

The visit to Steamboat's Grant Partner Facing History and Ourselves began with a tour of the facility, which was followed by Seth Packrone '09 speaking to the group about the broad missions of the organization and the various projects to which he was assigned.

Following Seth's presentation, the Scholars were fortunate to have Facing History's Executive Director, Margot Stern Strom, tell them her story and the life events that led her to found such a powerful organization.

Margot's son, Adam Strom, Director of Research and Development at Facing History, then led a discussion on the issue of France's decision to ban the Muslim head scarf in French public schools.
