Junior Branch Activity, Saturday February 25th, 11am-2:30pm

In order to honor Black History Month, we will be visiting the Constitution Center’s Community Day which celebrates Black history. The Constitution Center is a museum that examines the role the U.S. Constitution plays in our lives. 

• We will be doing the “The Road to Freedom: The Story of Slavery in America” Program. Here’s what the website says about the program:  
  • “This interactive program explores the story of slavery in the United States through a constitutional lens, taking visitors on a journey from the time of the Constitutional Convention to the start of the Civil War. It spotlights historic figures—like Thomas Jefferson, Angelina Grimke, Harriet Tubman, William Still, and Abraham Lincoln—and key events—such as the Missouri Compromise, the Compromise of 1850, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, the Dred Scott case, and the secession of the South.”

After the program, we will gather for a brief debrief, after which you are free to explore what the museum has to offer. Admission is free!
