Friends, please share this so we can get it in front of as many teachers as possible!

At New York Comic Con, I interviewed Joe Schmidt @hsglobalhistory about @civics_for_all an incredible NYC Public Schools initiative creating FREE educational comic books to help students learn about history, government, and civic engagement!

These comics are available to educators across the country, and I would love to see more classrooms using them. Thank you, Joe, for sharing this amazing work! by @hsglobalhistory
