As we make our way through history, a major topic of study is slavery.The institution of Slavery spans from colonial times with the first slaves arriving at Jamestown in 1619 and culminating in the bloody Civil War and the ratification of the XIII Amendment in 1865.
One of the great stories found in this tragic episode of history is the triumph of those who operated the Underground Railroad.
Harriet Tubman (a former slave) and thousands of others both black and white /enslaved and free kept hope alive by saving and inspiring untold thousands.
The movie we will start on Monday is the extraordinary tale of Harriet Tubman's escape from slavery and transformation into one of America's greatest heroes, whose courage, ingenuity, and tenacity freed hundreds of enslaved people and changed the course of history.
The movie has strong language and violence - students will be expected to approach this movie with maturity and respect.
