Harlem Renaissance Class Takes Trip to Underground Railroad Freedom Center

On April 4, Mr. Rosenfeldt's Harlem Renaissance class took a trip down to the Underground Railroad Freedom Center to experience their exhibit on the life and death of Emmett Till. Emmett Till & Mamie Till Mobley: Let the World See is an exhibit that tells the troubling story of the murder of young Emmett Till and the powerful ripple for justice that began with his mother’s courageous actions.

Mr. Rosenfeldt said, "It was an amazing experience for our students. Going all the way back to our nation’s founding, through Jim Crow, the story of Emmett Till, Civil Rights, and (perhaps most fascinating) an entire section on modern-day slavery and trafficking, our students were able to absorb a LOT about who we have been, who we are, and how to move forward in our world today."
