This week seniors visited the Harriet Tubman National Museum on the Eastern Shore. This field trip proves critical in better understanding the enslaved people of the area. This is timed with the biopic on Harriet Tubman which just hit the theaters, with a film debut of one of our alums, Jelani Brooks. The museum is part of Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad State Park in Church Creek Maryland. They saw the beautiful bronze sculpture of Tubman and learned about her service in the Union Army. Students are reading Colson Whitehead’s Underground Railroad and watching the WGN show “Underground.”
