Programs Include
The Trailblazers to Freedom Traveling Trunks which extend the Audacious Freedom exhibit to Philadelphia school classrooms. The program brings history into the present with multimedia sensory tools that enhance understanding of complex themes regarding values and culture, laws and politics. Both trunks incorporate young African American actors as on-screen narrators. Along with the artifacts, multi-media presentations and supplementary course curriculum, the trunk enhances the African American studies program mandated by the School District of Philadelphia.
