The Teaching History Her Way Podcast
The Great Migration Project & Making Learning Personal
Show Notes

Debbie Branker and Diane Giangreco worked together to interview their (our) Black and African Amerian colleagues to document their families' experience with the Great Migration, the movement of six million African Americans out of the rural Southern United States to the urban Northeast, Midwest, and West between 1910 and 1970.  The project is a gift to our community and is rich in personal histories, which really helps our students connect to history and learn empathy for others.  Learn about their project and how you can take on something similar should you choose to do so- with no budget.
