MHT Curriculum
A curriculum featuring Memphis’s rich African-American history
A curriculum featuring Memphis’s rich African-American history is available for schools. The curriculum, for grades K-12, is broken into four units based on aspects of Memphis heritage and creative devices such as writing, art, graphic design, and music. It focuses on figures and events in Memphis history such as Robert Church and the Church legacy, the all-black military units who fought during the Civil War (Fort Pickering) and the history of Beale Street.

There is also a Teacher’s Residency program that MHT offers. If you are an educator and interested email us through the website and let us know.
Teacher’s Institute was funded in part by the National Parks Services.
