Raising Freedom's Child
This work examines slave emancipation and opposition to it as a far-reaching, national event with profound social, political, and cultural consequences. The author analyzes multiple views of the African American child to demonstrate how Americans contested and defended slavery and its abolition.
The Fire of Freedom
Abraham H. Galloway (1837-1870) was a fiery young slave rebel, radical abolitionist, and Union spy who rose out of bondage to become one of the most significant and stirring black leaders in the South during the Civil War. Throughout his brief, mercurial life, Galloway fought against slavery and injustice. He risked his life behind enemy lines, recruited black soldiers for the North, and fought racism in the Union army's ranks. He also stood at the forefront of an African American political movement that flourished in the Union-occupied parts of North Carolina, even leading a historic delegation of black southerners to the White House to meet with President Lincoln and to demand the full rig...
Self-Taught
In this previously untold story of African American self-education, Heather Andrea Williams moves across time to examine African Americans' relationship to literacy during slavery, during the Civil War, and in the first decades of freedom. Self-Taught traces the historical antecedents to freedpeople's intense desire to become literate and demonstrates how the visions of enslaved African Americans emerged into plans and action once slavery ended. Enslaved people, Williams contends, placed great value in the practical power of literacy, whether it was to enable them to read the Bible for themselves or to keep informed of the abolition movement and later the progress of the Civil War.

Self Taught
A plan, for use in the San Diego schools, is outlined for a voluntary, teacher-centered, inservice training program to take place within the school day. This plan would use the many available teacher education films for inservice education, avoiding the additional inconvenience entailed in the planning and staffing of workshops or inservice programs requiring course attendance. These films would form the basis for all inservice education. Each month, the teachers in each department would select an appropriate film for their students to view in the auditorium, while they (the teachers) would be viewing a recent teacher education film chosen from a list of 66 compiled by the secondary instructional committee. The plan would be entirely voluntary, requiring no tests, term papers, or extra-curricular activities, but also offering no artificial incentives such as salary credits. The pilot project is targeted to begin in January, 1968, with one person in each secondary school in the area having been contacted to aid in explaining and promoting the program. This article appeared in sdta bulletin, volume 48, no. 3, December, 1967, P. 9. (aw)
