The seminar is designed to help teachers of history and social studies
grades 4-12 and museum educators employed in a public history setting to
incorporate the history of African-American slavery into their programs.
Although the main focus will be the history of slavery in Virginia, the
seminar will provide participants with a general study of slavery in
America.

The director of the seminar will be Dr. Philip J. Schwarz, Professor of
History at Virginia Commonwealth University. Renowned scholars in the field
of slavery, including historians, archaeologists and museum professionals,
will engage the participants in interactive sessions.
