Title:	Resisting for Justice
Duration:	2 hours
Description:	Participate in the meeting that led to the Boston Tea Party and demonstrate against the Fugitive Slave Law! Using role-play, students explore two historical examples of protest. Students learn how people have made a difference in the past, and discover how to stand up for their own ideas and beliefs today. The program begins in the main hall of Old South Meeting House where students take on the roles of Patriots and Loyalists and recreate the tea tax debate that led to the famous Boston Tea Party. The second half of the program is led by National Park Rangers from the African Meeting House where students reenact a dramatic incident of resistance to the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850.
