# Toward a Secondary Humanities Fellowship Semester

Patrick Cronin and Thomas Neville talked about their organization's summer camp last year working with high school students to research the 1968 Washington riots as part of the day-long symposium, "Collections as Data: Impact." They are co-directors of Thatclass a non-profit educational outreach organization that started with partnerships among teachers, students, local archives and experts and a question: "What if we replaced the textbook curriculum with archival materials?" That question lead to authentic historical work, with high school students framing questions about stories forgotten, researching in archives and using new digital tools to share their findings.
