Your Life is Your Message to the World—Professional Development Workshop
Twenty-six Milwaukee Public School teachers designed an exhibit about the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL) as part of a Kid Curators® professional development experience that took place at Cardinal Stritch University in June of 2015. I worked with the teachers to create an artistic response to all they learned, prompted by this question: In what ways does the story of the AAGPBL and Joyce Westerman inspire you? Teachers’ AAGPBL exhibits are on display in the Arts @ Large Civil Rights and Baseball exhibition, open July through September 2015. Teachers’ artwork and writing, which is documented in the book Your Life is Your Message to the World, reveals the impact Joyce Westerman and the AAGPBL had on all.
