First Advisory Board Meets at Suffolk University

The Voices Rising Advisory Board held their first official meeting at Suffolk University on Friday, October 19th (One Beacon St.). Project administrators gave a powerpoint presentation that included the project's goals and objectives, an update on the 2006 summer institute, a look at the project website and webboard, and a overview of the evaluation plan. Bob Allison conducted an interactive lesson on how to use American History primary sources with the entire group. Members analyzed Paul Revere's Boston Massacre engraving comparing it to a incident map created from witness accounts that contradicted what was actually depicted in the engraving. Finally, members viewed video footage from the 1775 Immersion Day held at Minute Man National Historical Park.
