Join the VMHC Education team for our upcoming webinar “Abraham Lincoln, African Americans, and the Emancipation Proclamation.” (Recommended for Upper Elementary Students & Above)
Abraham Lincoln is often called The Great Emancipator; however, enslaved people were responsible for seizing their own freedom. During this program students will explore primary sources related to self-emancipation at Fort Monroe and the resulting Confiscation Acts. Students will also analyze the Emancipation Proclamation and explore the impact it had on both enslaved and free African Americans.
