Debating Emancipation Online Launches Today

Calendar September 22, 2009 | Posted by javal

Today, on the anniversary of the issuing of the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, President Lincoln’s Cottage launches their award-winning program,
“Debating Emancipation,” in an online version.
 
“Lincoln’s Toughest Decisions: Debating Emancipation” is an interactive program that puts students in the role of Lincoln’s closest advisors. Using letters and other historical documents students learn how they would advise the President on this controversial issue.

This innovative program is currently offered as a school/adult program at the RobertH.SmithVisitorEducationCenter at President Lincoln’s Cottage and, thanks to a grant from the Motorola Foundation, is now available on LincolnCottage.org so that teachers around the country can use this program in their own classrooms.
