What does it mean to be American?
How have different groups maintained their cultural heritage while becoming part of the American experience?
How have American ideals of liberty and equality been tested, expanded, and realized through contributions and struggles of diverse communities?
FAIR helps students answer these questions and more with the FAIR American Experience Curriculum (FAECC), a comprehensive social studies curriculum that explores the rich tapestry of American heritage and identity. Students examine how various groups have shaped—and been shaped by—their participation in American society, creating a dynamic national identity that continues to evolve. FAECC highlights the tensions between unity and diversity, the evolution of concepts of race and ethnicity, and the ongoing struggle to fulfill America’s founding principles.
