Sponsor Educational Materials for a State:

The Project is producing a CD by scholar Robert L. Hall, reading Venture Smith’s Narrative (running time approximately one hour), and a hand-stitched reprint of the original Narrative. They will be donated to middle school, high school, and public libraries. The Documenting Venture Smith Project website will link them to lesson plans for all levels of classroom instruction and a traveling poster exhibit. Sponsors can underwrite the gift of the CD or the narrative for a specific state. The cost to produce and distribute each unit is $2.25 for the CD and $2.75 for the narrative.
