John Isabell, social studies teacher at DCHS, has been selected to present at the National Council for History Education conference in Boston on March 12-14.
For the past two years, Isabell has been a participant in the TEACH grant program through Vol State Community College, which will pay his expenses.
Isabell’s proposal is based on his research on 1930’s social and labor activist Myles Horton and the Highlander Folk School. Horton, from Monteagle, Tennessee, and his Highlander Folk School were key components to the success of the civil rights movement, according to Isabell.
