<p>Mr. Robert Sandler shares photos from the celebration of the Lincoln book prize!</p><p>A small group of Mr. Sandler's APUSH students had the unique honor of engaging with Dr. Edda L. Fields-Black, this year’s winner of the prestigious Gilder Lehrman Lincoln Prize, awarded for her groundbreaking book <i>COMBEE: Harriet Tubman, the Combahee River Raid, and Black Freedom During the Civil War</i> (Oxford University Press). Dr. Fields-Black was recognized with a $50,000 award for her work, which sheds new light on Harriet Tubman’s military leadership and the broader story of Black freedom during the Civil War.</p><p>Our students were privileged to attend her book talk, participate in a thought-provoking Q&A session, and receive personally autographed copies of her book. To top off the evening they had a delicious dinner. It was a memorable and inspiring experience! <a href="https://www.canva.com/design/DAGkqqe4Fvo/Jg2JNSKTSzKPWG3ztAtLGA/view?utm_content=DAGkqqe4Fvo&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=h4c1e968e85">See a full size photo collage here.</a></p>
