Educator's Guide, examines a national documentary project about twelve diverse communities exploring the changing face of grassroots activism in America, as seen through the distinctive visions of some of the nation's most original photographers, and compelling interviews by leading folklorists and oral historians. The guide, distributed to K?12 teachers through museum venues and on the Indivisible website, enables teachers to integrate the exhibition's photographs, interviews, and themes into their own interdisciplinary curricula in conjunction with a visit to the museum gallery. It focuses on the documentary tradition and the power of images and personal narrative to reveal aspects of identity, community, and civic engagement. It includes an introduction and overview of each project site, and a how-to guide for documenting local communities through oral history and photographs. In the guide given out by museum venues, a selection of slides of exhibition photographs and an audio CD with interview excerpts accompany lessons for analyzing Indivisible images and interviews.

Reframing America explores aspects of immigration revealed through photographs taken by immigrant artists. Seven photographers from the Center for Creative Photography collection are featured: Alexander Alland, Robert Frank, John Gutmann, Otto Hagel, Hansel Mieth, Lisette Model, and Marion Palfi. These photographers came to America during the period between 1920?1950. Millions of people left their homelands during that time to seek a better life in America. Often fleeing war, revolution, and persecution, they came in search of freedom, as well as economic and artistic opportunity. The photographers in this exhibition were among these immigrants. Their work speaks of life in America and of their feelings and experiences as immigrants in a new land.
