Description
In this episode of the Leading By History podcast, host Ma'asehyahu Isra-Ul speaks with public historian and Executive Director of the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation - Christy Coleman. The discussion is centered in Living History and the complicated role that historical reenactments play in historical education.

What exactly is a historical reenactment and how does this work translate into a K-12 classroom? If you are looking to find understanding and clarity on the "Dos and Don'ts" of reenactments and simulations - this is the show you need to access.
