Historic Hudson Valley

In partnership with the Hard History Project, Historic Hudson Valley (HHV) will create a library of peer-driven, professionally reviewed classroom engagement strategies, including lesson plans, critical response prompts, and discussion questions, for teaching about slavery. These resources will be based on the information contained in “People Not Property: Stories of Slavery in the Colonial North,” HHV’s award-winning interactive documentary that reveals previously untold stories of enslaved individuals from Pennsylvania to Vermont. Additional digital and on-site historic content will supplement those resources and support teachers with curricular tools to confidently and sensitively engage students on this aspect of American history.
