The commission will endeavor to convene at least bi-annually a statewide meeting or conference on the history and legacy of slavery in Maryland so as to facilitate researcher interaction, encourage communication on the same with the public, and publicize and coordinate resource availability. 2 . Education The Task Force recommends the establishment of a commission that periodically will survey educational institutions and systems (K-16) about courses being taught and teaching materials being used relevant to the history and legacy of slavery in Maryland. In this connection, such commission will suggest areas where special state support should be targeted to most productively address educational deficits. In a strictly advisory capacity, such commission will consider developing principles and preferred guidelines to support the creation of instructional materials and implementation of a state-supported program of teacher training that is sensitive to issues relating to slavery and its legacy as well as multiculturalism.
