An upcoming subject of study for my North Carolina history class will be slavery. I plan to augment my lectures and assigned readings with an on-line hunt for information and materials regarding slavery in North Carolina.

I will create a Blackboard web page with links to various sites, pages and material that the students will browse and respond to. I will link to our ECI525 class? site on Stagville (even if it is still under construction). In addition, I will send them to the Historic Stagville site, the Stagville Society site, Somerset Place, as well as the digital history site American Memory services as found on the http://memory.loc.gov site.  I will also link to the slave narratives that are from North Carolina residents.  I may also have the kids tour the NC Cultural Resources and the State Archives for information about slavery.  I will have fact-based, reflection and discussion questions that they will respond to on the Blackboard?s discussion boards.
