The Price of Freedom
In this Ship-based guided program, students will analyze the ways North Carolinians, and those onboard USS North Carolina, served in WWII, and how their actions affected other events and communities. They will explore several unique stories of those in different military branches. Students will analyze primary sources, engage with individual stories and historical context, and relate this to several spaces on the ship as they are guided through several compartments above, below, and on the main deck. This program aligns with several North Carolina social studies standards.
