Title: BEYOND GARRISON: ANTISLAVERY AND SOCIAL REFORM
Author: Bruce Laurie
Abstract: This program, which formed the basis of several others for local school teachers I have done over the years, also heavily informed my work on the local history of entrepreneurship and social reform. The feedback we have received from school teachers plus encouragement from NEH, indicates that it was quite a success. Little did I know that it would also deepen the focus of my scholarship!
