Tanzanian-born architect designed new museum on the mall

The building on the National Mall was designed by the Tanzanian-born architect David Adjaye to evoke a crown motif from ancient Yoruban sculpture, or alternatively women’s hands raised to the sky in prayer. It is planned so the historical journey begins below ground, in an exhibit called “Slavery and Freedom,” featuring an auction block where people were sold and a cramped pinewood cabin where slaves were housed on Edisto Island in South Carolina.

Thank you U Maine Students

I had a great day on Saturday with Robin Fleck’s ELL students. We decided that from now on we will unwrap not unpack complex sentences. I found the article about the Emma Lazarus poem and have posted the article about Visual Thinking Strategies.
