Celebrating the Civil Rights Movement at Cane River Creole National Historic Park
Posted by Krissy PondenThe Cane River Creole National Historic Park in Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana is hosting a youth art exhibition celebrating the civil rights movement early next year. Unquowa’s 6th grade students have been creating artwork that will be displayed at the park as part of the exhibition. We had a virtual visit with Ranger Meghan who explained the history of the park and the civil rights movement, and we played civil rights bingo to learn about some of the movement’s most influential leaders. Students selected a leader or event and researched their chosen topic to provide them with historical context for their drawings. The finished drawings will be sent to the park later this month and will be on display for visitors to view and learn from.
