Virtual Lessons in Black History
Friday, 1 May, 2020
In a project initiated by The Knowledge Project, five students from the Professional Performing Arts School in New York City reported on, wrote, recorded and edited this podcast. Ninth graders Lily Ventura, Alisa Beck and Nikola Dickersin, along with sixth graders Noah Cheong and Gisela Gong, present two lessons on important African-American figures. The first is about Carter G. Woodson, the “Father of Black History,” while the second covers Onesimus, the early-18th Century slave who introduced inoculation to the United States amidst the Boston smallpox outbreak of 1721. The podcast was edited by Lily Ventura, while the music is by Alisa Beck.
