Educators change the world, not through force, not through fear, and certainly not for fame and fortune. While it might be human nature to enrich one's self, educators have the supernatural ability to enrich our collective society, reaching students, colleagues, community members, and beyond.

The Society for History Education invites you to join us in celebrating educators throughout the world and throughout time. We hope you and your students enjoy the possibilities presented in this special issue of The History Teacher, Teaching for and about Social Justice.
