Join members of the Museum's education team for this free teacher workshop that explores six key documents that tell the story of an exceptional moment in history when women and people of African descent were able to vote in New Jersey, long before the passage of the 15th and 19th Amendments. Participants will analyze these primary sources and their historical contexts, walking away with ideas for how to integrate them into classroom learning.
