The upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States’ founding is an opportunity for museums and historic sites with stories of slavery to create programs that explore our collective history. The workshop will discuss pedagogically sound and emotionally aware techniques for developing tours and programs, as well as strategies for training and caring for staff. Using the themes from AASLH’s Making History at 250: The Field Guide for the Semiquincentennial, we will explore ways to broaden visitors’ understanding of slavery and enslaved people’s lives during the Revolutionary Era, and the legacies of slavery that exist in our society today.
This two-day virtual workshop will meet from1 – 5 p.m. Eastern each day.
The workshop is facilitated by Kristin Gallas, Principal of Muse Consulting. Gallas is the co-editor, with James DeWolf Perry, of Interpreting Slavery at Museums and Historic Sites, and author of Interpreting Slavery with Children and Teens at Museums and Historic Sites. Both books are published by AASLH.
