Our 8th grade Social Studies students brought history to life through their Voices of Change Museum projects!
Students researched and created exhibits to teach others about influential people, landmark court cases, and important events from the Civil Rights Movement in South Carolina. Students then participated in a gallery walk, exploring one another’s exhibits and learning about the impact these individuals and moments had on history.
