Unit Content

Andrew, While working on my unit for YNI,I took the time to read over some units. I enjoyed reading about some of the connections between seminar content and Gage Park, which is a community that I taught in for many years. You do a wonderful job of merging the content from New Orleans into recognizing a need for understanding and marking a key event in the history of the community. Thanks for sharing your work and dedicated research.
