Civil War Essay Contest. After twenty years, the Gilder Lehrman Institute is retiring the Civil War Essay Contest. While we received hundreds of entries each year, this is but a small fraction of the number of students studying American history annually. We felt we could reach far more students by redirecting resources to our other programs.
Celebrating Student Voices. Facing History and Ourselves teaches us to think about the world in new ways, igniting conversations about how we can build societies free from racism, antisemitism, bullying, and hatred of all kinds. Congratulations to the winners of the 2018 Essay Contest!
