Grace Craighead

Grace Craighead is the Winner of the Arnold Krekel and James Milton Turner Youth Essay Contest celebrating German Abolitionists of Missouri. Courtney Harrel was her History teacher at Jefferson City High School. Cindy Browne was the Executive Director of the Deutschheim State Historic Site in Hermann Missouri.
Last week Cecilia Nadal (Cross Cultural Strategies) was my guest and we discussed the lead-up to this show. Cecilia can be reached at info@gitana-inc.org or by phone at 314 721-6556. On this show, we celebrated Grace's success in the contest and each person shared their role in the process. We also discussed the need for critical thinking and this kind of history to be discussed more in schools and community groups. Cross-Cultural Engagement like this is essential in a working democracy. Dr. Gary McKiddy from the Missouri Council for History Education and Francine Davis have developed a curriculum "Abolitionists in Missouri". Deutschheim State Historic Site.
