For Teachers and Educators

About This Event

What is the impact of telling ‘untold’ histories using primary source materials for students and teachers alike?

Discover a world of untold stories waiting to be rediscovered by exploring content from our recent exhibit Mysteries from the Deep: Exploring Underwater Archaeology. Join the Intrepid Museum for a morning of analyzing how artifacts enhance student learning, as we uncover the direct impact of underwater archaeology on our understanding of peoples and cultures today.

Hear from Jeremy Ellis, former president of the Clotilda Descendants Association, and descendent of enslaved survivors from the Clotilda, the last known slave ship to enter the United States.

This is a virtual program. We recommend using a laptop for the best learning experience. No other materials will be needed! Virtual check-in will begin at 9:45am EDT.  

This program offers 2 CTLE credits. Space is limited. Please register only if you have administrative support and can attend for the full morning.

If you have any questions, please contact: schoolprograms@intrepidmuseum.org

Jeremy Ellis

Jeremy Ellis is a direct descendant of Kupollee (Pollee) and Rosalie (Rose) Allen, who were shipmates on the Clotilda – the last known slave ship to enter America. He is the founder of Justice for the 110, a coalition of committed people working towards justice and reparations for the 110 enslaved Africans brought to America aboard the slave ship Clotilda. He is the immediate past president of the Clotilda Descendants Association (CDA), whose mission is to honor their ancestors, preserve their culture, landmarks, and legacies, and educate the future generations of descendants and the community.

The Intrepid Inspiration Academy has been made possible by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
