In 1871, they went on an historic tour and sang before President Ulysses S. Grant, and Queen Victoria of England. Their message of racial equality (all but two members of the group were former slaves) and spirituality struck a chord with audiences around the world. Using reenactments, archival photographs, and excerpts from diaries and letters, the stories of these extraordinary young people are told."	Snacks will be provided!! Contact:aramacha@haverford.edu

Lessons from a Navajo Kindergarten KAREN GALLAS Teacher-researcher, poet, and author of Sometimes I Can Be Anything: Power, Gender, and Identity in a Primary Classroom "TEACHING AS ETHNOGRAPHY? LESSONS FROM A NAVAJO KINDERGARTEN" The talk proposes that the process of conceptualizing teacher research as ethnography leads to a deep shift in the ways that teachers and students approach instruction, learning, and curriculum. Using a description of her work with Navajo kindergarteners, Dr. Gallas describes how classroom ethnography problematizes and reconfigures basic principles of literacy learning and teaching.
