Traveling Trunks: A New Way Triad Students Are Learning About Black History

The Greensboro History Museum put together artifacts that show what it was like when schools started desegregating.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Triad students have a new way to learn about black history. 

A pencil sharpener from 1923 and 100-year-old books - all things teachers used before and during the time schools started desegregating. 

The Greensboro History Museum put them all together in a trunk, so students can see how schools have changed in the last 50 years. 

The trunks will go from classroom to classroom as part of teachers' black history month lesson plans.
