Educators!
This year marks a number of major milestones for The DuSable Museum! From the creation
of the Discovering DuSable Digitally website (www.virtualdusable.com) which includes
flms and documentaries produced in Haiti, Louisiana, and Chicago, to the development
of curriculum and programs under the auspices of the Illinois Amistad Commission, to the
opening of the musical When Good Broccoli Goes Bad, we have created a series of new
education programs for students based on the Common Core standards, Social Science 3.0,
and the Illinois State Standards.
Beyond our permanent exhibits A Slow Walk to Greatness: The Harold Washington Story,
Africa Speaks, The Freedom Now Mural, and the Thomas Miller Mosaics there are a number
of traveling exhibits for you and your students to enjoy.
Fall is always a time of great energy for the Museum as we resume our schedule of school
visits, and present our busiest season of public programming. In the coming months, there will
be more to see and experience at The DuSable!

Please visit our website www.dusablemuseum.org for current information on new exhibitions,
Teacher Training Institutes, and public programs.
We sincerely appreciate your involvement with the Museum, and we look forward to seeing

DuSable Museum of African American History and the
Illinois Amistad Commission
In an effort to more effectively educate students about the historical challenges and
triumphs associated with the African American experience, Illinois joined several
states in adopting a set of legislative policies entitled, the Amistad Commission.
Amistad Commissions were enacted to increase the awareness of the history of the
transatlantic slave trade, enslavement in North America, the vestiges of enslavement,
and the contributions by African Americans on society to students in grades K 12.
Acting in partnership with the Illinois Amistad Commission, the DuSable Museum
has developed a curriculum unit that includes Common Core and Illinois State
Standards integrated into the core subject areas of language arts, math, science, social
studies, etc...
Lesson topics include:
l The Pyramids of Giza
l The Libraries of Mali
l African Women and the Origins of Mathematics
l The African Presence in the Pre-Columbian Americas
l The African Presence during the American Civil War.
Lessons are available for free download on the DuSable Museum website at

From Africa Speaks to Mayor Harold Washington, there are many exciting and educational
reasons to visit the DuSable Museum with your school groups. Pre-registration is required
for school groups visiting the Museum, viewing a flm, or participating in educational
programs.

A Slow Walk to Greatness: The Harold Washington Story
Africa Speaks Over thirty-fve years ago, the DuSable
Museum opened an exhibition entitled Africa Speaks to
showcase the diverse people, cultures and countries in
Africa, but more importantly to illustrate the link that African
Americans have to their ancestral legacy beyond the institution
of slavery. Many of the original items in the exhibition were
objects brought back from independent trips to Africa by several
museum founders. DuSable has reinstalled this exhibition
under the same title utilizing pieces collected over the past four
decades totaling some 2,000 plus traditional and contemporary
African artifacts. This enhanced version of the original Africa
Speaks divides the continent into fve regions: North, South,
East, Central, and West. Each section is home to varied ethnic
groups, everyone with different customs and traditions.
Red, White, Blue, & Black: A History of Blacks in the Armed Services
The call to serve ones country has always been a special signifcance in conferring
the highest claim of citizenship and patriotic responsibility. The irony however, for
the more than 14 million black men and women who have served in the armed forces
of the United States, the right to serve, fght and die for America has been a battle of
its own long before the colonies enlisted its frst militia. This exhibition features more
than 100 artifacts and objects from the DuSable Museums collection beginning with
the Revolutionary War through the Vietnam War. The exhibition is divided into seven
historical eras: the Revolutionary War; the American Civil War; Westward Expansion
and the Spanish American War; World War I; World War II; the Korean War; and the
Vietnam War.
PERMANENT EXHIBITIONS
A Slow Walk To Greatness takes a look into the life and legacy of Harold
Washington, more than twenty years after the death of the citys frst African
American Mayor. Featuring more than 150 artifacts, objects, campaign memorabilia
and even archival footage, the exhibition affords a new generation the opportunity to
learn about the tremendous impact that Mayor Washington had on the city of Chicago
and the country. At the center of the exhibition is an animatronic likeness of Mayor
Washington. Washington once again sits behind the desk that he used while serving
as a State Representative in Springfeld, Illinois, and talks to visitors summarizing
the history of the City of Chicago when he served as Mayor.

Miller feature portraits of eight of the ten founders of the DuSable Museum of African
American History including Dr. Margaret Burroughs, Charles Burroughs, Eugene

Gerard N. Lew. In addition to these portraits are scenes of famous Chicagoans including
the citys founder Jean Baptiste Pointe DuSable, and the frst African American mayor
the late Harold Washington.

The Freedom Now Mural Illinois sculptor and attorney Robert Witt Ames expressed
his political and social sentiments for the historical experiences of African Americans
throughout American history in a substantial wooden mural called Freedom Now. The
nine by eight foot bas-relief carving illustrates 400 years of African American history
including such notable fgures Frederick Douglass, W.E.B. DuBois, and Mary McLeod
Bethune, and historic events such as the 1831 Nat Turner led slave revolt and the Little
Rock Nine school integration. This work of art is one of several in the DuSables fne art
collection that features minority subject matter created by non-African Americans.

Roots in the Real World: African American
Food History & Ecology
Grades: 3rd-6th
Ecology is the branch of science that is concerned with the relationship
between living things and their environments. While the study of Ecology is
common place in school systems today, very little emphasis is focused on the
connection between African Americans and the natural world. This program
intends to connect young students with the earth around them through
historic African and African American foodways. Students will gain a basic
understanding of ecology while dually discovering the African American
experience with the environment in the past. This program will also discuss
the issues of obesity, the importance of healthy food choices, hygiene, and
water conservation as they relate to the African American community. Book
an experience today as we examine foods and plants introduced and cultivated
by African Americans, black folk remedies and medicines, and exploring
African American ecology through literature, art, and cultural celebrations.

From Africa to Capture to Freedom:
The Underground Railroad Experience
Grades: 5th-12th
You are living free in your homeland in Africa when suddenly your village
is raided and you are torn from your family. You are transported in a large
ship across a body of water that seems to never end. Finally you reach
land on the other side. You are examined, measured, and eventually sold
as chattel to a man you do not know. Now you are a slave in the South in
the 1800s, your body and mind belong to a farmer 6 days a week and you
work to make him rich. Freedom means a hard and dangerous journey,
do you dare risk it. The DuSable Underground Railroad experience
highlights the journey some slaves took from capture in Africa, to slavery
in America, and hopefully to Freedom thereafter.

milestones accomplished by a man of color whom navigated the

slavery), European settlements and wars, to not only survive but
fourish. The website also explores the land, culture and people of
Louisiana and Haiti where DuSable had journeyed.
