Truer to Ourselves: Cultural Diffusion in America and the 1965 Immigration Act

In this summer institute, participants will explore the history of this beautiful nation of strangers, taking a closer look at each era and the many forces that shape immigration patterns, policy, and public response. We hope this institute shines a light on ‘Our Beautiful America’ and allows us to teach in ways ‘truer to ourselves’.
The Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library will invite 40 educators to attend the annual educator summer institute from July 13 to July 17, 2026 in Austin, Texas. The program is open to all educators (PreK-16, pre-service educators, and informal educators) and all subject areas.
