The Role of Geographic Mobility in the African American Freedom Struggle
Where: Burchfiel Geography Building, University of Tennessee-Knoxville
When: Thursday, July 21, 2022
Have you heard of the Negro Motorist Green Book? How about the Great Migration, the term Urban Removal or the Freedom Village in Fayette County, TN? Twenty-five teachers from across the United States, who will be in the final days of a three-week residential institute funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, will have been studying these events and associated resources in-depth. They will present their research on The Role of Geographic Mobility in the African American Freedom Struggle and their strategies for incorporating a wide variety of content and points of view into their classrooms. The teacher/presenters represent all grade ranges and teach geography, history, ELA, African American studies, library and other courses. This will be a unique opportunity to meet and mingle with a very diverse group of teachers who will be excited to share their ideas with local educators.
The morning workshop will be presented in a scaled-down professional conference format and includes lunch so you will be able to pick and choose sessions of interest and then get to eat and mingle with the presenters. Certificates will be provided at the end of the workshop indicating three hours of professional development. This is a free event funded by a federal NEH grant, please attend if you register.
