Two week-long workshops for cohorts of 26 K-12 teachers each on the impact of the 1892 Homestead steel strike.

The Archives & Special Collections Department at the University of Pittsburgh Library System and Rivers of Steel National Heritage Area are pleased to submit this proposal for a Landmarks of American History and Culture workshop entitled The Homestead Steel Strike and the Growth of America as an Industrial Power. If funded, this will be the third time we have offered this program. As with the first and second iterations, the residential workshop will be offered to two different groups of 26 teachers, during the weeks of July 5-11 and July 12-18, 2026.
