Discover the History of the Lives of the Enslaved

Open to: Social Studies and ELA Teachers
Opportunity at a Glance: This seminar offered by the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History is a study of enslaved people and the ways in which human beings coped with captivity.  It also listens to their voices through audio files, diaries, letters, actions, and silences; centering on the people of slavery rather than viewing them as objects shifts the focus to their commentary on slavery. In addition to listening to enslaved people, participants will have the opportunity to engage cutting-edge scholarship on the subject.
Key dates:  Monday July 7– Thursday July 10
