Expenses Paid K-12 Teacher and Educator Professional Development
Workshops, Summer 2004


The North Carolina Museum of History in partnership with the Thomas Day
Education Project is offering a series of workshops for K-12 educators
nationwide entitled, "Crafting Freedom: Thomas Day and Elizabeth Keckly,
Black Artisans and Entrepreneurs in the Making of America." This is an
expenses paid professional development opportunity to selected educators
and we are especially eager to make this opportunity available to you and
your colleagues. As there are 200 openings - more opportunities than ever
before - we especially encourage you to apply and/or to share this
information with your colleagues and others in your school system!

This series of four 5-day, expenses-paid professional development
workshops in African American history are a part of the Landmarks of
American History program funded by the National Endowment for the
Humanities. They are aimed at providing K-12 educators with the
opportunity to engage in intensive study and discussion of important
topics and issues in American history while providing direct experiences
in the interpretation of significant historical sites. Teachers in public,
private, parochial, and charter schools, as well as home schooling parents
are urged to apply. Other K-12 educators including administrators,
substitute teachers, media specialists, and museum and site educators are
also eligible.

The "Crafting Freedom" workshop theme is based upon recent scholarship on
the participation of enslaved and free black men and women in the
nineteenth-century "market revolution." Thomas Day was a celebrated free
black Southern cabinetmaker. He had the largest furniture shop in North
Carolina in 1850 and was recently described in a January '04 issue of the
New York Times as a "major antebellum figure." Elizabeth Keckly, generally
considered the most important African-American woman in the clothing
business prior to the Civil War, was also a skilled dressmaker and
confidante of Mary Todd Lincoln. She was also the author of an important
slave narrative and best seller, Behind the Scenes; or, Thirty Years a
Slave, and Four Years in the White House.

Applicants must complete and submit their applications by March 15th to be
eligible. For full information on the application process and on the
content of the workshops, please refer to the Workshops and Presentations
link on our website, www.thomasday.net , or contact us by phone at 919 405
2326 or toll free at 877 438 1599, by email at tdek04@xxxxxxx, or by US
mail at Crafting Freedom Workshops/ Box 12888/ Research Triangle Park, NC
27709.

We are also encouraging participation as part of a team from your school
or school system. We hope to hear from you soon, and don't hesitate to
contact us if you have any further questions!
