Series: AAHA Virtual Genealogy & Local History

Date: July 12, 2022

Time: 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM Eastern Standard Time

Topic: Through the Looking Glass: Teaching Slavery Using Local Sources in the Class Room

Speaker: Carolyn Wyrsch

Host: Christine Taylor Lewis

Ms. Wyrsch’s presentation, Through the Looking Glass, is designed to share some practical strategies that she used in the classroom. Her hope is that this resource will encourage other teachers to find new ways to enhance their students’ exposure to a very critical topic in our nation’s history.

Ms. Wyrsch received a BA in History and Secondary Education from Caldwell University and received an MA in History from Rutgers University. Professionally, she served as the History Department Chair at Wakefield School, in The Plains, Virginia and taught as an adjunct instructor of history at Northern Virginia Community College.
