As we discussed in class today, it's sometimes hard to figure out what makes something significant. It certainly should teach us lessons. It should be relevant, impactful and inspiring.
Angelique's story fits that criteria -- but her story is notably missing from the Grade 7 History curriculum. In fact, there's no mention of slavery in the New France unit at all!
So we leave it to you. Your assignment over the next couple of days is campaign for Angelique. You are to create brochures that educate your fellow peers about Angelique's story and try to get her story added to the Grade 7 curriculum.
