As part of Giving Voice, the annual benefit event for the Royall House & Slave Quarters, historian Hasan Kwame Jeffries will join Dr. Bethany Jay, associate professor of history at Salem State University, to lead a hands-on workshop on teaching American slavery for classroom teachers. This two-hour workshop preceding Giving Voice will include classroom-ready resources linked to the new Massachusetts social studies frameworks, and ample opportunity for Q&A. A box lunch will be provided, and participating teachers are encouraged to stay for Giving Voice afterward.

Jay is co-editor of “Understanding and Teaching American Slavery,” on which the key concepts of Teaching Hard History’s framework for teaching American slavery are based.

Jeffires, the Giving Voice featured speaker, is an associate professor of history at Ohio State University. He will talk about his work with “Teaching Hard History: American Slavery,” an educational initiative of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Teaching Tolerance Project.

Workshop and complimentary Giving Voice tickets are $20 for K-12 teachers. Giving Voice tickets are $40 for RH&SQ members, $50 for nonmembers. Tickets for either the workshop or for Giving Voice and may be ordered through the Giving Voice Eventbrite page.
