Educators Workshop: PAS and the Abolition Movement

At the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, 1300 Locust Street, Philadelphia, PA

The second of a series of workshops for teachers exploring the history and legacy of the Pennsylvania Abolition Society (PAS), this workshop looks at the PAS and its role in the abolition and antislavery movements of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Participants will explore the strategies of the early abolition movement as illustrated through primary documents from the PAS papers. Participants will receive 2 hours toward PA Act 48 credit. To register, please contact Jen Coval at jcoval@hsp.org.

Look for a third PAS workshop on the Underground Railroad on March 18, at the Johnson House. For more details, visit http://www.hsp.org/default.aspx?id=634
