Art & poetry by sixth-grade students of Mrs. Jeffress, project director & Mrs. Fraleigh.
Linden Avenue Middle School sixth graders learned the history of slavery in the Hudson Valley by connecting with individuals. Based on articles from Susan Stessin-Cohn and Audrey Hurlburt-Biagini's book In Defiance: Runaways from Slavery in New York's Hudson Valley, 1735-1831, students painted portraits & wrote poetry.
Visit the exhibition of their work at the library until July 9.
