In this episode of the Teaching History Her Way podcast we welcome Darcy Daniels. Darcy is not your typical historian—she's a dynamic storyteller who brings history to life through her immersive tours of the iconic Freedom Trail in Boston, Massachusetts.
Join us as Darcy discusses the concept of "deep dives" into American history, challenging the traditional narrative that often centers on just a few prominent figures. She passionately argues that understanding the Revolution goes beyond the stories of five influential men—it's about amplifying diverse voices and perspectives to provide a more comprehensive understanding of our nation's past.
Darcy delves into the layers of history embedded in colonial Boston, sharing her insights on the complexities of the Old South Meeting House. This historical landmark, a witness to the Boston Tea Party, also played a crucial role in the lives of influential figures like Phyllis Wheatley, a prominent African-American poet. Through Darcy's engaging storytelling, listeners will discover the rich tapestry of stories that intersect at this crossroads of history.
But that's not all—Darcy sheds light on the often-overlooked stories of women like Rachel Revere and Sarah Revere. These remarkable women, often overshadowed by their male counterparts, also shaped the narrative of the American Revolution.
In a thought-provoking discussion, Darcy challenges educators to rethink the way history is taught in schools. She advocates for a more inclusive approach, urging teachers to expand their students' knowledge by incorporating diverse perspectives. As someone deeply immersed in the history of the Freedom Trail, Darcy explores the trail as a collaborative space where Revolutionary War and Civil War histories intersect, providing a unique lens through which to view America's evolving narrative.
This episode is a must-listen for history and social studies teachers, grades PK-12, seeking innovative ways to engage their students and broaden their understanding of American history. Tune in as Darcy and I take you on a captivating journey through time, weaving together the threads of history that often go unnoticed in traditional textbooks.

We delve into the idea that it's our responsibility to reinforce the foundation of civic knowledge in students. By doing so, we empower them with the skills necessary for civic action and understanding civic life. This lays the groundwork for fostering respectful conversations and bridging differences as they grow into informed and engaged adults.
Our discussion also highlights the upcoming Freedoms Foundation Valley Forge 2024 seminars and workshops, scheduled to open applications on January 1, 2024. These events cover a range of topics, such as Freedom, Opportunity, and the History of Immigration; E Pluribus Unum: Rome and the Constitution; and the French and Indian War. Notably, all teachers applying to a Freedoms Foundation seminar have the opportunity to be eligible for scholarships.
Having had the privilege of presenting at an FFVF workshop last summer, I can attest to the incredible experience it offers. I encourage all educators to apply, as Jeff tirelessly works to provide top-quality professional development programs. These programs connect teachers with exceptional scholars and thinkers, making Freedoms Foundation seminars one of the premier professional development opportunities available. Don't miss the chance to be part of this enriching experience! Check it out at https://www.freedomsfoundation.org/teachers/
