About this event
- 1 hour
Join The New York Public Library’s Center for Educators and Schools in taking a close look at how Black Americans navigated the complex history of emancipation through primary sources from our free curriculum guide, To Make Public Our Joy: Black New Yorkers Commemorating Emancipation, 1808–1865.
This will be followed with a look into video oral histories from HistoryMakers, an extensive database of oral histories spanning decades, to understand how Juneteenth and other holidays are celebrated.
Eligible NYS teachers will receive 1 hour of CTLE credit.
