Students learn about the life of one of Washington's enslaved workers, Slammin' Joe, who dug ditches and only had time to visit his wife and children -- who worked in the fields -- during his one day off on Sunday. Slammin' Joe engages students in a dialog about the practice of slavery in early America.
Program Format:
1) Slammin' Joe introduces himself and gives an approximately 15-minute monolog about his life.
2) Students spend approximately 15 minutes asking Slammin' Joe questions about his life and slavery
