Henson Presentation at Independence Seaport Museum

Susan Mudry, our Youth Outreach Coordinator, was a featured presenter at a large educational workshop for Philadelphia school teachers held in May at the Independence Seaport Museum at Penn's Landing in Philadelphia. Her presentation was on the life and times of Matthew Henson, the mariner who is honored by a statue at our museum. This represents the third time a represenative of the museum has been invited to offer a presentation about Henson to Philadelphia’s school teachers at the Independence Seaport Museum. In addition, the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers invited a representative from our museum to speak on Henson at their annual convention last year.  The event at the Independence Seaport Museum was coordinated by Bill Ward, the museum’s Director of Education.
