historical context in advocacy — Nonprofit Communications & PR Firm | Nonprofit Marketing Agency | Forthright Advising

Connect with your community by knowing your history

As communicators, it’s our job to deeply understand what came before us. For example, knowing about child care’s roots in chattel slavery can help you communicate effectively about workforce challenges. Knowing the history of de- (and recent re-) segregation can help public school communicators better connect around school closures and redistricting.

Great communicators are history experts and are constantly absorbing news and context. We're sharing tips about when and how to think about history here.
