## Description

Last Seen is an innovative educational initiative dedicated to uncovering the histories of families affected by slavery in America through the publication of "Information Wanted" ads. This project serves as a vital resource for educators, providing a wealth of primary sources that highlight the experiences of formerly enslaved individuals seeking to reconnect with their loved ones. The Last Seen Project offers comprehensive educator resources, including ready-to-use lesson plans, audio and video excerpts, and classroom-ready narratives to help teachers effectively incorporate these historical ads into their curricula. These resources not only contextualize the domestic slave trade and its impact but also engage students in critical discussions about communication, migration, and emancipation. Through collaboration with teachers and students, the initiative fosters an understanding of this challenging history, encouraging the exploration of personal stories that have long been absent from traditional narratives. By emphasizing the voices of those who lived through this period, Last Seen enriches the educational landscape and enhances the teaching of America's Hard History.
