Please Note: This workshop has been cancelled. Please see our Professional Development Workshops page for more upcoming workshops.

On the eve of the American Revolution, one-fifth of British North America’s residents were people of African descent. What did their lives look like during the Revolutionary era, how were they impacted by the Revolution, and how did they themselves shape how the new nation came into being?

Join educators in-person at the Museum for a workshop combining classroom instruction with gallery exploration as we discuss these questions and shares resources and records for learning and teaching. The price of registration for this in-person professional development workshop is $45.
