This project is dedicated to Milburn Crowe
and the residents of Mound Bayou, Mississippi, who opened their
homes and hearts to us. Their hospitality, their generosity and
their stories inspired us to share their history with educators
and students across the United States. All of the curriculum materials
and information found on this site are for educational purposes
only and not for sale. |

Our deep appreciation for the generosity of
the following organizations in Madison, Wisconsin, that made this
"dream" of student- generated curriculum about Mound Bayou,
Mississippi, into a "reality". Their support made it possible
for the students to visit Mound Bayou, to organize a district-wide
in-service training for teachers, and to present their curriculum
to educators and students at the National Service Learning Conference
in Orlando- where it was highlighted as a model for diversity education.
