SUMMARY:Castine Historical Society Hosts Public Event with Adams School to 
 Showcase Students’ Work on Local African American History
DESCRIPTION:For the past year\, members of the Castine Historical Society
 ’s staff and Education Committee met to plan a new pilot learning unit f
 or the Adams School 7th/8th grade class taught by Kalista Farmer. This pil
 ot unit used the history of Castine’s African and African American resid
 ents to look at broader issues such as slavery in New England and the Sout
 h\, Abolition\, the Underground Railroad\, and life for free Blacks in New
  England.\n\nThe Historical Society asked Georgia Zildjian\, an Education 
 Committee member who is also on the Adams School staff\, to write and pres
 ent the five-week learning unit for this fall term. Zildjian designed the 
 unit to allow students to explore sites in Castine\, use primary documents
  at the Castine Historical Society\, and learn from community experts.\n\n
 The culminating project for the class will be presented at a free afternoo
 n event. Students will present their research and findings to the public a
 nd light refreshments will be served. Attendees are encouraged to either b
 ring non-perishable food items or a monetary donation that will be donated
  to H.O.M.E. in Orland.
