Educational Programs
African Diaspora Children Series
We encourage each educator – from pre-school to secondary to home school – to introduce the history behind these educational programs to your students. The DuSable Museum African Storytelling and Rhythms programs afford you the opportunity to do so in an inspiring and entertaining manner.
Programs cost $5 per person and begin at 10:30 am, unless otherwise noted. One chaperone or teacher is admitted free per group reservation. Programs are subject to change. For reservations, call 773-947-0600 ×225.
Rosella Smith is available for storytelling to pre-schoolers every third (3rd) Wednesday of each month. Reservations required-$4 per person.
