\"NEH<\/a><\/p>\n

Thanks to all who participated in our first Summer Workshops on June 20-24 and June\u00a027-July 1, 2011!<\/h3>\n

Hello Dr. Heywood,<\/h4>\n

I just wanted to take a moment to say Thank You. Last year, I was selected to
\nparticipated in the African Americans in Massachusetts Institute at Boston
\nUniversity. Yesterday, as I was introducing Moby Dick to my senior students, a
\ndiscussion began about blacks and slavery in Massachusetts. I was able to share
\nso much with them from the Institute that I attended. Now, they are excited
\nabout reading the book.<\/p>\n

Later in the day, students were discussing the Ellen Craft lesson that we did
\nat the beginning of the year. They were given a picture of Ellen and William
\nCraft and had to predict who they were and what they were doing. They loved
\nfinding out the real story of Ellen Craft. We used Belinda’s Petition in February when we explored Literature during Black History month.<\/p>\n

None of this would have been possible with out NEH and you, Dr. Heywood. I am
\nso thankful that you have helped me make learning an exciting experience for my
\nstudents.<\/p>\n

Thanks Again,<\/p>\n
