NHD 2024-2025 Theme Description

Rights & Responsibilities in History

To celebrate our 50th anniversary of National History Day (NHD), during the 2024–2025 academic year, students will explore topics relating to the theme Rights & Responsibilities in History. This year’s theme invites students to consider questions of time and place, cause and effect, change over time, and impact and significance.

The key to this theme is addressing BOTH rights AND responsibilities. These are two powerful forces in history, but one does not work without the other.
