Educators in South Carolina are invited to participate in a workshop on teaching Reconstruction. This is the first state-based workshop on the release of the national report, Erasing the Black Freedom Struggle: How State Standards Fail to Teach the Truth About Reconstruction.
The free 75-minute session will include an opportunity to examine the report findings for South Carolina, learn about Hastings Gantt (who donated the land for the Penn School), and discuss approaches to teaching Reconstruction with fellow SC educators.
The workshop is hosted by the Penn Center, the Zinn Education Project, and the International African American Museum. Learn more:
