Supplementary History Books

"I WAS A SLAVE" books:

The District of Columbia Public Schools conducted its mandatory and very rigorous screening process. The review committee passed the books with praises.

The Virginia Public School System hired Ms. Howell to conduct workshops exclusively to teach teachers. (The four workshops, lasting two days, were designed to accommodate 50 participants each, but up to 70 teachers crowded themselves into each of the classes -- with some outside in the hall!)

Georgetown University (where Ms. Howell taught a class), Cornell University (for a roundtable discussion), and other universities have availed their students of her specialized supplemental history instruction.

Libraries of grade schools through colleges include the books. Teachers use them as reference material, especially for the younger students. A few hundred public and private school teachers nationwide have purchased the books to include in their lesson plans.
