My history teachers will be elated to add more resources to their curriculum.

Hey TPS Architects -- A Georgia story of courage and of cruelty -- check out this link from the National Museum of African American History & Culture. A story of 15 young women (girls, really, ages 12 to 15) that were locked up in a stockade for up to 45 days for protesting segregation at a local movie theater. Their parents had no knowledge of where they were being held or the conditions of their situation.

The link includes a view of interviews with these young women today and views of the stockade. If you have trouble accessing the video -- find it here:

Georgia History and specific to Fulton County Schools! This edition has multiple primary sources and connections to other sources via LOC.

I just found this via LOC News from Prints and Photographs newsletter.

I love StoryMaps for classroom application.  Check it out!

Pictured is an engraving of Tomochichi and his nephew, Toonahowi holding a large bird. Tomochichi was the chief of the Yamacraw Indians located in the coastal areas of Georgia. He mediated peaceful discussions between the native population and the new settlers. 

The engraving was created by John Faber Jr., circa 1734-35

Greetings and thank you for joining our group! Please take a moment to remind everyone of where and what you teach. You might also want to note the object you selected as a "representation of self" (mine was the tree painting). :)

This group, within the TPS Teacher Network, will be an excellent venue for sharing primary sources and lesson ideas among our group AND for soliciting feedback and ideas from others. Additionally, the group is open to the TPS Network "public" -- so, we welcome suggestions and comments from others who are interested in primary sources and teaching local and state history.

To start the proverbial ball rolling... I'm attaching this wonderful photograph from the FCS Archives, entitled "GA Congress of Colored Parents and Teachers" and a lesson I posted last year (see the attachment to this posting). To see more on this photograph and the history of the Congress of Colored Parents and Teachers in Georgia, you can visit the Curiosity Corner online publication at:
