Forced Immigration

Our Forced Immigration unit was all about slavery and what the slaves went through. It was very interesting. We learned about Sierra Leon, the African Burial Ground, a slave’s life, and much much more. We learned by watching movies, reading books, and surfing the web. At the African Burial Ground we looked at all the signs slaves made— like a swirl means journey. There were symbols for everything! A guest also came in from Sierra Leone and talked about it. We really studied a lot about forced immigration!
