Chasing Silver
Based on the RI PBS documentary Chasing Silver, T-Time President Theresa Moore collaborated with PBS on the creation of high school-level curricula resources focused on the environmental legacy of the Gorham Silver factory and its impact on the Mashapaug Pond and the surrounding land and communities.

1st RI Regiment
1st RI Regiment Memorial at Patriots Park
An immersive curricula experience focused on the use of primary source documents, this project explores and highlights the inspiring, but little known, history of the 1st Rhode Island Regiment, the first formally integrated military unit in the American Revolution. Free and previously-enslaved Blacks, as well as local indigenous men, fought alongside their fellow White soldiers, to defend a country that placed little value on their lives as men of color. The curricula shares and elevates their voices and perspectives as participants in a war for freedom and self-determination, concepts which eluded them and their peoples. The curricula also helps students to explore what the word “patriot” means to various communities.
