Carol's HOMEWORK assignment for your Fri. class about slavery, identity, and diversity

Challenging, thought provoking topics!! I am looking forward to a critical exchange of ideas when we get together at the Hale Cultural Center on Friday.

Please check out the following websites:
www.nationalgeographic.com/features/99/railroad Click on enter under the swinging lantern and enter a site in which you imagine you are a slave trying to escape. (I realize this "game" is a very reductionist approach to a very serious topic, but my hope is that it will provide some context for Friday afternoon and for your visit to the Freedom Center in Cincinnati on Sat.

www.freedomcenter.org/underground-railroad Click on and read: "The Underground Railroad." Just below that, click on and read: "Timeline"

Sounds like you're having a great week! See you soon :) Carol
