Introduction to the Humanities is a team-taught course offered by the Humanities. The students were engaged in a study of Black rural education in the context of the Jim Crow south through a careful reading of Black Man's Burden, the autobiography of our founder, William H. Holtzclaw. Funded through a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the course has allowed our small campus the opportunity to investigate Holtzclaw's life and legacy through both faculty research and students' undergraduate research projects. In this session, we will discuss lessons learned from this experience for colleges who may wish to explore institutional history with their own students. We will discuss the creation of our shared syllabus, an overview of the project, incorporating undergraduate student research projects, and engaging students in archival work. Takeaways: After this session, participants will be able to: * Share the process of working on a cross-curricular project * Raise awareness about William Holtzclaw and his place in the history of education in Mississippi * Describe strategies to engage students in exploring institutional history.
