Black Power/Nonviolence & CIvil Rights (Anklam & Solomon)

Holly and Lauren,
I am so sorry that I didn't get back to you sooner.  Somehow the resources that I printed for you got mixed up with other papers on my desk.  I have a few articles that I will send to school tomorrow as well as a list of books.

There is a special issue of the OAH Magazine of History (July, 2008) on this topic.  Try this link
http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=aph&bquery=(JN+%22OAH+Magazine+of+History%22+AND+DT+20080701)&type=1&site=ehost-live

If that doesn't work:   Go to Badgerlink.  Select the database Academic Search Premier, Click on the PUblications tab at the top of the page.  IN the search box type in OAH, then select the OAH Magazine of History.  Select 2008, then July, 2008.

I've printed a few of the articles from this issue, so wait and see what I send. But, there are some nice pictures that you might be able to use in your documentary.
Let me know if you need anything else - there's lots of info on this topic.

Hi Kira,
I am so sorry that my first list of links did not work.  I've corrected the ones that only sent you to my email and added some more.  There are many court cases that are referenced on these sites and in the articles.  You can find the primary documents on the court cases by visiting http://www.oyez.org/- that provides all the Supreme Court decisions.
I will also send a couple of articles to DCE tomorrow.

Red Scare (Schuessler and Prell)

Here are a few websites that you might take a look at.  The one from the Wis historical society has many links and pictures on Mccarthy.  Is there anything specific you’re focusing on?  I’ll check at the library for other materials we have in print when I return there on Tuesday.

Women's fashion in the 1920's (Rodriguez & Thao)

I'll send a few articles to DCE.  If you want pictures you might try the picture collection at the New York Public Library.  http://digital.nypl.org/mmpco/index.cfm.

I also found a website that had pictures and articles from the 20's at
http://www.oldmagazinearticles.com/women-fashion-articles-1920.php
These would all be primary sources.

I'll keep looking, but hopefully these resources will get you started.
