Nat Turner Slave Insurrection in Southampton, Virginia. TRAVELING EXHIBIT ASSIGNMENT The United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations. Its mission is to contribute to peace and security by promoting international collaboration through education, science, and culture in order to further universal respect for justice, the rule of law, and human rights. UNESCO Slavery Routes and Routes project has commissioned your team to develop a traveling time capsule exhibit that commemorates Nat Turner. The Presentation • You must make a presentation to your peers about the key artifacts your team deems significant for inclusion. Artifacts include any primary source from the period: material object, photos, literature, quotes, music, etc. Your team will need to identify the artifact, summarize its significance to the theme at hand. Consider also how the artifact will provide future generations with a greater understanding of enslavement and rebellion. • Please provide 5 sources for further reading so that UNESCO leadership may read further on this topic. You may list sources found on the syllabus or the Comparative Slave Rebellions blog. Please be mindful that you may be asked about these sources so do not just list them—read them. • Include a brief biography highlighting the expertise of your group members. Such as, "John Doe has taken several classes on slavery. His research expertise centers on the relationship between day-to-day resistance and armed rebellion among the enslaved. " Or, for example, "Jane Doe is an expert at group organization. She brings to this project a life long commitment to public service and political activism." • Your presentation can be in any form: YouTube, formal oral presentation, powerpoint, etc. • Your presentation may not exceed 20 minutes in length. • If using multimedia, please email yourself a copy and bring it to class on a jump drive.
