    Education Aci Title I; ESEA Title I ABSTRACT This manual contains selected materials and ideas generated during the multicultural program implementationat Fremont Elementary School in 1974-75 which vas funded under ESEATitle I. The program included:(1) the consecutive concentrated study of five individual cultures and (2) a comparative multicultural approach built around five basic themes. While it isbelieved that it is essential to develop positive self-concept and intergrouprelations, multicultural awareness is seen as necessary to understand the different human experiences of people who come from different cultures and ethnic groups. In the school, multicultural awareness vas attained through implementationof the following areas: cultural curricula, multicultural curricula; curriculum based onclassroom cultural and ethnic population; integration of multicultural awareness into basic subject areas ofmath, reading, language; and chronological recognition of events and holidays across cultural lines. This project was developed for elementary grades as aformal approach to begin or enrich multicultural studies.Although much of the content is deemed to be appropriate forkindergarten to sixth grade, special emphasis is given to grades four throughsix.

  • Status Seekers
    STATUS SEEKERS: LONG-ESTABLISHED WOMEN’S ORGANIZATIONS AND THE WOMEN’S MOVEMENT IN THE UNITED STATES, 1945-1970S DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Caryn E. Neumann, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Susan M. Hartmann, Adviser Professor Donna Guy Professor Warren Van Tine ______________________________ Adviser Graduate Program in History ABSTRACT This dissertation is an examination of four long-established American women’s organizations that were active in the decades immediately following World War II. It is part of growing body of work that places the roots of second wave feminism in the decades prior to the 1960s. The focus of this dissertation is the non-college student, non- radical women who addressed the main social movements of the postwar era by promoting civil rights and feminism. These organized women were targeted by conservative critics who employed the anti-communist hysteria of the Cold War in a largely unsuccessful attempt to stifle liberal activism. Each organization focused on a agenda that gradually expanded to include civil rights and feminism. They are feminist precursors. Each group in this study formed prior to World War II to address one of the major aspects of American life: work, education, family, and religion. The American Nurses Association (ANA) saw itself as chiefly a labor organization. Because the vast majority of nurses were of women, the ANA discovered that it could not promote better nursing and improved working conditions without elevating the status of women workers and without addressing the issue of racism within health care.

  • Virtual Tour Unit Plan the Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia
    Virtual Tour Unit Plan The Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia Welcome to the Jim Crow Museum. We are an anti-racism institution. We use objects to inform, to teach, and to create dialogues about race relations. Our approach is to use primary sources to document and learn from the past. We are educators. The museum is not a shrine to racism, but a collection of objects and attitudes that shaped history. This history belongs to all Americans as inheritors of the legacy of Jim Crow. This museum is a testimony to the resiliency of African American people. It is a collection of narratives that demand contemplation. Everyone is welcome, yet this space may not be for everyone. Confronting history is a fact-based endeavor, but it may be an emotional struggle that is overwhelming for some visitors. Our mission is to teach tolerance using objects of deeply rooted intolerance. We combat ignorance with truth and replace fear with empathy. The Jim Crow Museum promotes personal and community awareness, social justice, and racial healing. The museum’s mission is achieved through the following objectives: • To collect, exhibit and preserve objects and collections related to racial segregation, anti-Black caricatures, civil rights, and African American achievement. • To promote the scholarly examination of historical and contemporary expressions of racism. • To serve as a teaching resource for Ferris State University courses which deal, directly or indirectly, with the issues of race and ethnicity. • To serve as an educational resource for scholars and teachers at the state, national and international levels. • To promote racial understanding and healing.
