INVESTIGATING FREEDOM BUILDING: NATIONAL MUSEUM OF AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY AND CULTURE |
Your time at the museum has a puprose beyond the history and culture highlighted. We want you to use the historical facts in these exhibits to assess how freedom building has been carried out in the past and determine what strategies you are willing to use to do the work of freedom building in your own community. The facts and culture are important, but how you will use them is our priority.
What laws have our ancestors fought for that will aid us in building out freedom for our community now?
What were the visions of freedom during this era?
What are some of the cultural practices of the time?
Why is culture important to freedom building?
What strategies were used to acheive freedom during this era?
What elements of freedom were not actualized during this era? Are they actualized now?
What can you bring back to your community?
