We have diverse cultures, varied traditions and we speak many languages, yet across the globe people share two things in common: our past and our future.

HISTORY invites teachers and students across the world to join us for MANKIND CONNECTED: A Global Teach In. In conjunction with the new 12-hour epic series Mankind The Story of All of Us, premiering on November 13, this live online event will explore our shared human story by learning about UNESCO World Heritage sites throughout the world.

What is a World Heritage site, and what makes each so important? What are the keys to our history, and how can we map the future by learning more about the past? This Teach In will feature a panel of historians and special guests, with participation from students around the world.

Registration is free. The Teach In will be broadcast live and archived for later viewing for those unable to watch live. To view the webcast, register at www.history.com/classroom before 12pm ET/9am PT on November 8 to watch the presentation as it unfolds.

This supplement is about the majestic RMS Titanic on her maiden voyage from Southhampton, England, bound for New York starting Wednesday April 10, 1912. Titanic was the largest man-made moving creation on land or sea at that time. She was taller than a ten-story building and nearly a sixth of a mile long. The Titanic was, for her time, the most luxurious ocean liner ever built. She was destined to become the most famous ship in history, just not in the way most expected.
