A weeklong educators seminar at the National Museum of African American History and Culture from July 6–10 facilitated by the NMAAHC Teaching and Learning unit along with Reconstruction historian Kate Masur.
Designed for middle and high school educators, the seminar includes sessions at the museum and local historic sites. Participants will take an in-depth look at the changes brought about by the Civil War, especially how African Americans, many newly freed from slavery, built lives for themselves, their families, and their communities. The framing text will be Freedom Was in Sight! A Graphic History of Reconstruction in the Washington D.C. Region by Masur with illustrator Liz Clarke. The application deadline is April 15th.
