Interpreting Slavery with Children and Teens is a comprehensive guide that provides advice, examples, and replicable practices for developing and implementing slavery-related school and family programs at museums and historic sites. It goes beyond mere historical research and hands-on activities to create successful experiences about slavery. The book emphasizes the importance of offering students new historical narratives and helping them navigate the emotions that arise when these narratives conflict with their existing beliefs. It suggests that engaging students in dialogue about slavery and race is crucial, as it allows them to bring their prior knowledge, scaffold new knowledge, and create their own relevance. By doing so, adults can hear and respect the perspectives of young people, fostering a more inclusive and meaningful interpretation of slavery.
The book's framework aims to advance the field in its collective conversation about interpreting slavery with young audiences. It acknowledges past criticisms and takes proactive steps to develop inclusive interpretations of slavery. When an organization commits to conducting school and family programs on slavery, it makes a commitment to preserve the memory of the millions of silenced individuals and raise awareness about the racist legacies of slavery that persist in our society today.
Interpreting Slavery with Children and Teens offers valuable insights and strategies for creating engaging and meaningful programs that address the complex history of slavery with young audiences. By embracing diverse perspectives, fostering dialogue, and promoting empathy, these programs can help students develop a deeper understanding of this important period in American history and its ongoing impact on our society.
