As
an
instructor
of
Diversity
courses
for
MCPS
this
local
museum
is
a
permanent
part
of
our
learning
about
African
Americans.
The
workshops
for
teachers
on
Black
Schools
in
Montgomery
County,
plus
the
added
benefit
of
hearing
from
some
of
the
first
Principals
and
students
back
when
schools
were
segregated
really
enlightened
the
audience's
perspective
on
what
things
were
like
over
the
years.
They
have
African
artifacts,
an
extensive
collection
of
artifacts
from
the
civil
war
into
reconstruction,
a
wonderful
section
featuring
famous
Black
people
that
everyone
should
know,
a
section
on
local
families
and
a
section
on
various
roles
and
jobs
and
even
ways
people
hid
people
on
the
underground
railroad.
There
are
exhibits
outside
that
you
can
visit
and
the
docents
are
local
residents
as
well
as
teachers,
counselors
and
administrators
in
Montgomery
County
schools.
It
was
interesting
to
know
that
many
students
outside
of
MoCo,
even
outside
of
Maryland
came
here
to
go
to
school.
Make
sure
you
bring
your
whole
family
to
visit
this
wonderful
gem
of
a
museum!
