On Sat., December 8th at 10:30, Ms. Nease and Ms. Walls are going to visit Historic Stagville in Durham. Many of you visited in 4th grade, but during our study of slavery, you might find it meaningful to return with what you know now. This is not required, but if you'd like to join us, we'd love to see you there! We'll gather at 10:30, watch a short orientation video and then take a tour at 11:00.
We're interested in thinking about how Stagville is similar to and different from Somerset Place.
