IThe pre-test of the teleconference set-up was
four long hours of frustrating disappointment. Our planned location
at The National
Afro-American Museum on Wilberforce University campus had
too many trees and interferences to allow us to broadcast with
the portable satellite dish. They worked so long and tried all
kinds of different spots all around the building but nothing
worked. There would be a signal indicating connection and it
would suddenly quit, just disappear. The rest of the evening
was a mad scramble to brainstorm, change plans and seek another
location for tomorrow’s teleconference.
This museum is beautiful. The current exhibit
From Slavery to Freedom was perfectly appropriate for Freedom
Quest Ohio visit. Take a look and perhaps you are even close
enough to be one of the many schools that make a field trip
visit.
