STAMP SERVICES UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE VOTE BY MAY 30, 1990 May 1, 1998 Dear Teacher: Peace, love, flower power. A man on the moon. Martin Luther King's dream. The sixties were a remarkable time in our nation's history and the United States Postal Service is pleased to have you and your students join us in commemorating the people and events that shape our country. The Celebrate The CenturyTM Educational Series not only teaches children about history, it enables them to become a part of it. Just as the 1964 Voting Rights Act truly granted the right to vote to all Americans, the Celebrate The CenturyTM program opens up the democratic process to children. For the first time, the votes of kids and adults are equally counted in a national election as Americans "place their stamp on history" by choosing the stamp subject matter that will represent life in each of the decades of the 20th century. We have made voting easy for you and your class. You can vote using the special school ballots in your 1960s School Kit or also go online and have your students vote on the interactive Celebrate The CenturyTM voting web site: <http://stampvote.msn.com>. The 1960s voting period runs through May 30th. Please don't let this historical opportunity pass by - empower your students as voters and instill in them the importance of becoming educated, active participants in one of America's greatest rights. As President Clinton stated, "We have a special responsibility to inspire the American people to reflect upon and commemorate the achievement's of this country's past and to celebrate the possibilities of the future." Today, more than 220,000 classrooms are already participating in the United States Postal Service's Celebrate The CenturyTM program. What's more, educators nationwide are praising this unique program for its quality, diversity and substance, and for the relevancy of the curriculum materials provided. Thank you for your involvement and continued participation in the Celebrate The CenturyTM program.

Wright 1 OFF THE ROAD Imperialism And Exploration In The American Road Movie “Road movies are too cool to address serious socio-political issues. Instead, they express the fury and suffering at the extremities of a civilized life, and give their restless protagonists the false hope of a one-way ticket to nowhere.” –Michael Atkinson, quoted in “The Road Movie Book” (1). “‘Imperialism’ means the practice, the theory, and the attitudes of a dominating metropolitan center ruling a distant territory; ‘colonialism’, which is almost always a consequence of imperialism, is the implanting of settlements on distant territory” –Edward Said, Culture and Imperialism (9) “I am still a little bit scared of flying, but I am definitely far more scared of all the disgusting trash in between places” -Cy Amundson, This Is Not Happening “This is gonna be exactly like Eurotrip, except it’s not gonna suck” -Kumar Patel, Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay Wright 2 Off The Road Abstract: This essay explores the imperialist nature of the American road movie as it is defined by the film’s era of release, specifically through the lens of how road movies abuse the lands that are travelled through.

  • EH9.3 JULYL04 Gallery.Pmd
    gallery NEIL MAHER ON SHOOTING THE MOON ON 22 APRIL 1970, the first Earth Day, citizens paraded, rallied, and protested for the environment with drawings, paintings, and illustrations—but not with photographs—of the entire Earth. No such photograph existed. In 1970, the reigning iconic image of the Earth from space was the first picture shown here, Earthrise, taken by Apollo 8 in late December of 1968. On 7 December 1972, an Apollo 17 astronaut snapped the second photograph below, which quickly replaced Earthrise as the image of Earth from space for an American public ready to “Think Globally, Act Locally.” This essay explores the connections between technology, nature, and narrative in the production and reception of these two popular NASA photographs. While both these pictures are familiar to Americans today, the stories they tell are less well known, surprisingly divergent, and indicate that whether we are hiking close to home with map and compass or rocketing toward the Moon, technology mediates our contact with the environment and in doing so shapes the stories we tell about nature. As important, these extraterrestrial tales also suggest how the relationship between nature and technology in American culture shifted during four of the most turbulent years of the postwar period.1 The technology used to create and publicize these two photographs was nearly identical. Both the Apollo 8 and Apollo 17 missions depended on three-stage Saturn 5 rockets, developed by NASA’s Wernher Von Braun, to transport astronauts far enough from Earth—approximately 240,000 nautical miles—to peer back at the entire planet.

    The Commune Movement during the 1960s and the 1970s in Britain, Denmark and the United States Sangdon Lee Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Leeds School of History September 2016 i The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement ⓒ 2016 The University of Leeds and Sangdon Lee The right of Sangdon Lee to be identified as Author of this work has been asserted by him in accordance with the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 ii Abstract The communal revival that began in the mid-1960s developed into a new mode of activism, ‘communal activism’ or the ‘commune movement’, forming its own politics, lifestyle and ideology. Communal activism spread and flourished until the mid-1970s in many parts of the world. To analyse this global phenomenon, this thesis explores the similarities and differences between the commune movements of Denmark, UK and the US. By examining the motivations for the communal revival, links with 1960s radicalism, communes’ praxis and outward-facing activities, and the crisis within the commune movement and responses to it, this thesis places communal activism within the context of wider social movements for social change. Challenging existing interpretations which have understood the communal revival as an alternative living experiment to the nuclear family, or as a smaller part of the counter-culture, this thesis argues that the commune participants created varied and new experiments for a total revolution against the prevailing social order and its dominant values and institutions, including the patriarchal family and capitalism.
