Public History Lab Trip: The History of People Setting Themselves Free From Slavery in the US

Catalog description

In this course, students will take their knowledge (from HIST 2297 ) about the history of slavery and emancipation, as well as skills in research, development, and the production of building an exhibit, and travel to Edgard, Louisiana during winter session. There we will work on-site for a week with community partners, museum staff, and our colleagues in the UNO course at the Whitney Plantation Museum. The course will run parallel with a sibling course being taught in the University of New Orleans' MA program in Public History.
