hi everyone! In our chat last Thursday we talked about African-American voting rights after the Civil War and into the 20th century. I was trying to find this link during our chat, but didn't get to it until after. This is one of my favorite political Cartoons about this time period:

On another note, I know Kristina sent out an email with the link to http://www.livingroomcandidate.org/, but I wanted to emphasize the resources they have available for teachers. They have a link on the site with a ton of lesson plans, many that I've used in class! I have tweaked a couple of them for use in both my government and AP government classes and the students have always really enjoyed viewing the commercials. We have done whole classroom activities, and also individual activities--I just tell the students to bring a pair of headphones that day so they can listen to the ads on their own. If you'd like me to email any lessons I have done using Living Room Candidate, let me know!
