The lessons will be taught to sixth through eighth grade students this year.
You're viewing a single thread.
You mean like escaping slavery or killing slavers?
Seems like a good skill to have in the back pocket even today.
John Brown did nothing wrong. (except maybe a bit tactically at the end.)
Had not heard of him. Turns out to be a worthy research hole to fall into for others wondering.
I'd also recommend a recentish book about him and Lincoln called The Zealot and the Emancipator in case anyone wants some light reading. The politics around Bleeding Kansas feels relevant to the US today.
Timeless skills really.
Would be good to be able to learn that in Florida so they can learn how they put the skills to use.
It's a global skill too.
