Lesson Module One: Enslavement and Emancipation

The first lesson module in this book explores the ways in which we approach and learn about the history of enslaved people. In the first article, Dr. Susan Eva O’Donovan explores new strategies and resources to teach about the history of enslaved people in ways that tells their stories. In the lesson plan, Al Wheat explores records that compare the lives of formerly enslaved people before and after emancipation.
