Student Activity Guide for 1900-1950

This 21 panel exhibit marks the lives of Africans and African Americans from the explorations of Hernado de Soto through the early 1950’s.   Each panel gives local history for specific goals in the North Carolina Standard Course of Study. 

This exhibit can be split between 1850 - 1900 and 1900 - 1950 if the teacher or renter desires to focus on a shorter span of time or has limited space for a display.

The research for An Unmarked Trail was conducted by students from AC Reynolds High School under the leadership of the Center and local educator, Tori Leslie.
