Welcome to our new series, Student Feature Friday! For NHD 2024, students Kaitlin Medina and Cora Hoyt (left) researched the impact of McCarthyism in their local town of Vancouver, WA. Led by their teacher John Zingale (right), they met with their town's Mayor Anne McEnerny-Ogle (right) who provided the students with firsthand primary source documents for their project. NHD is proud to create local historians who engage with primary sources in their community! #NHD50
