Abolitionist Tactics for Freedom



Students analyze a poster warning of slave catchers and a lithograph print of Henry "Box" Brown who successfully escaped from enslavement for messages about abolitionist organizing tactics and about target audience for abolitionist media messages. This simple decoding activity has been taken from a larger lesson with many slides titled “Arguing For Freedom”. To access this lesson, type the title with quotes into the PLS keyword search bar.
