LTFC Storytellers Experience

During this 1.5-hour visit to the TEP Center, students participate in a guided museum tour, complete a Civil Rights Activity and engage in a Q & A with Leona Tate. The tour sparks conversation about the rich history of the Lower Nine. Dr. Tate gives a glimpse of the events of the Civil Rights Era through the eyes of a history maker.

​

The three core goals of this experience were to:

​

  1. Increase student’s awareness of about Civil Rights history and aid in the development of tolerance and empathy.

  2. Encourage students to explore new interests, develop confidence, and build self-esteem.

  3. Emphasize to students the need to understand their past while continuing to build their future.
