It Happened in Brooklyn

Students will meet a diverse range of residents from Brooklyn's earliest Native American settlements, to the men and women who fought in the Revolutionary War on Brooklyn's shores, the Brooklynites who worked to abolish slavery, immigrants from all over the world who made Brooklyn home, and the women who kept America going by working in the Brooklyn Navy Yard during WWII. With primary sources from the Brooklyn Hsitorical Society collection such as photographs, artworks, and documents, students will engage in key moments in our nation's history and learn how they played out in Brooklyn's streets.
