America after the Civil War
-----------------------------------  Through active examination of photographs, objects, and works of art from the late 19^th Century, students explore key themes of this period, including the impact of the Civil War on Americans, manufacturing, transportation, expansion, urbanization, and the stratification of American society. Guided by a museum educator, students will analyze and interpret primary sources to gain a more powerful connection to this historical period.

(Two Programs)

Facing Portraits  
-----------------------------  Through interactive discussion and engaged looking, students explore the stories behind the portraits and how portraits hold visual messages about the subject, the artist, the time period or the event celebrated. Portraits used in this program include “grand style” (formal) oil portraits, commercial products, political campaign materials, and informal photographs. Suitable for schools studying the cultural and ethnic diversity of America and the interpretive skills of art history.   

Teacher Workshop 
------------------------  This 30-minute workshop for teachers will demonstrate the possibilities of videoconferencing and briefly review the content of the lessons described above. Conducted by a museum educator, the workshop is an excellent introduction to this exciting new way to connect with the “primary sources” of the museum. 

About the Provider  The American Labor Museum advances public understanding of work, workers and the labor movement throughout the world, with special attention to the ethnicity and immigrant experience of American workers.  It is headquartered in the historic Botto House National Landmark, the 1908 home of immigrant silk mill workers.  During the Paterson Silk Strike of 1913, Pietro and Maria Botto offered their home as a meeting place for more than 24,000 striking men, women, and children.  The strikers called for safe working conditions, an end to child labor, and an eight-hour day.  This action and others like it brought about reforms in the workplace that are broadly enjoyed by Americans today.
