Students work with family members in developing a family point of view of
their ancestral homeland as part of a Postcards from the Edge Project.
Utilizing family interviews and internet sources, students will trace their family
heritage, seeking a connection between their own cultural heritage and that of
the Caribbean, including any connection to the African Diaspora. Students will
write a paper documenting their findings and complete a family feedback form.
