Matanzas High School English teacher Jeanne Nix was among teachers from 37 states who attended a special workshop this summer at The Mark Twain House and Museum, in Hartford, Conn.
The subject of the workshops, funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, was Huck, Jim and Jim Crow.
The workshop addressed the importance of Twain’s 1885 novel, “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.”
The workshop also examined the influence that Mark Twain’s own experiences and relationships had on his views of racial equality, as well as his representation of African Americans during the most productive period of his life from 1871 to 1891, when he was a resident of Hartford, Conn.
