Laurie Gordon MacKenzie began teaching social studies in Concord New Hampshire in 1987 --the year after the Challenger Shuttle Disaster when Concord High teacher Christa McAuliffe was lost. One of the courses that Laurie started teaching that year was American Women's History, which was a course developed and taught by McAuliffe. As part of New Hampshire Public Radio's series ""Remembering Christa" Laurie Gordon MacKenzie reflects on teaching that class, and the lessons we can still learn from Christa McAuliffe.
