http://www.mariner.org/education/
maritime_history.html#Anchor-MARITIM-658 

This hands-on program will help students discover how the institution of black slavery shaped the history, culture, and commerce of four continents over the course of five centuries, and how its impact is still felt today. Drawing heavily on primary source material, students will be able to identify the economic, cultural, and racial origins of the slave trade. First-hand accounts of the slave trade by enslaved Africans, slave traders, and abolitionists will give students the chance to explore the human side of this "peculiar institution." Reproduction artifacts and musical instruments will give students the opportunity to explore firsthand the transference of African culture across the Atlantic to the Americas. Museum Educators will facilitate discussion and discovery in this lively program. (Grades K-12)
