Facing History & Ourselves shares your commitment to generating a thoughtful learning atmosphere with images, quotes, and student work. We are excited to share seven new classroom poster designs available for download and self-printing. 

Our colorful 19 in. x 27 in. posters include historical and contemporary upstanders such as Rosa Parks, Mahatma Gandhi, Malala Yousafzai, Marsha P. Johnson, and Harvey Milk, and a Facing History alum upstander, plus representation of our highly requested Learning Journey. Our 2024 addition features our “5 Be”s encouraging students to engage in ways that foster a sense of community and belonging, and our 2025 addition includes journal prompts to help foster reflection and connection. These motivational classroom posters are perfect for history, civics, and social studies classrooms. They would also make a great addition to an English language arts classroom.
