Program Description
A costumed, first-person presentation that gives students the opportunity to interact with someone from the past and learn about the topic from his point of view. He is a composite character based on attitudes of the time period. The program provides the experience of meeting a mill worker, Edward Cahil, who witnessed the 1886 Haymarket Riot in Chicago. Having escaped the fray, he speaks to the students about his experiences in the riot. He tells of the working conditions, the plight of the workers, and the movement to organize. Students will be asked to discuss their reactions to his story and challenged to create new laws to help the working class. This is a forty-five minute program with network time of 1 hour. The first fifteen minutes of the network time will be used to test the connection. Conner Prairie's distance learning programs occur within a studio setting.
