There are more slaves today than were seized from Africa in four centuries of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. The modern commerce in humans rivals illegal drug trafficking in its global reach-and in the destruction of lives.

Safe Passage is a multimedia curriculum based on Ohio's academic standards in language arts and social studies for sixth- through ninth-graders. By engaging in this hands-on experience featuring the Underground Railroad, both teachers and students will begin their own journeys, exploring the theme through powerful fiction and nonfiction reading, thought-provoking writing assignments and the moving stories of the people and places of the Underground Railroad. The Safe Passage kit includes: teacher guide, VHS video, CD-ROM, books for classroom reading, optional graduate course and website.

Kit is FREE to low-wealth schools in Southwest Ohio and available at cost ($75) to other teachers/districts. Dinner is included with the workshop.
