8/5/08 Follow the Drinking Gourd


Today we went to The Underground Railroad National Freedom Center in Cincinnati. Wow! And, double wow!! I was moved to tears many times throughout the day as we saw various exhibits and films about the history of slavery, the Underground Railroad, famous abolitionists, various heart wrenching and heart warming true stories, and life after the war for the freed slaves. It was interactive so the kids were very engaged. This was definitely an amazing field trip for the kids complete with a written paper their teacher assigned them.
