Mr. Dumas’ history class went on a trip this week to the African American Civil War Museum. Students discussed Washington, D.C.’s role as a place for freemen and former slaves. Students have already viewed the Civil war movie Glory, which showcased the impact of the 54th Mass. Regiment, the first exclusively African-American regiment. The museum provided additional information about the role of African Americans in the civil war including letters, artifacts, mementos, and historical information from he time period.
