Through decades of strife, and often at the risk of their lives, brave people joined forces as anti-slavery activists and fought for justice despite powerful opposition. In this lesson, students will explore the American abolitionist movement through reading, discussion, andanalyzing various primary source documents. Students will also participate in a group project in which they research one abolitionist in depth and create a “Digital Picture Frame” based on their assigned abolitionist’s life and accomplishments.
