The study of African American history indicates that the American ethnic populations were deliberately divided for exploitation and specifically for economic gain. Proponents of African American history believe it will promote cultural identity, develop self-esteem, and correct many of the myths supported by the Eurocentric curriculum. The teaching methodologies of African American history in secondary grades (7-12) are inequitable and need a different strategy to empower students. African American students feel alienated because their culture is underrepresented in school curriculum.

That's basic spelling that every woman ought to know” Mistinguett Edwin C Glickman Collection of Mistinguett Posters Christie's South Kensington Thursday, 28 June 2007, 2pm London - Christie's South Kensington will be presenting what is thought to be the most complete archive of material about French chanteuse and showgirl Mistinguett on Thursday 28 June 2007. Born Jeanne Bourgeois in France on 5 April 1875, Mistinguett assumed her stage name early on in her career, and went on to become the highest-paid female entertainer in the world at that time. During the 1920s and 1930s, Paris was the glittering epicentre of Music Hall entertainment, and Mistinguett starred at all the top venues, including the Folies-Bergere, the Moulin Rouge and the Casino de Paris. Complete shows were designed for her and she became the epitome of French glamour, even insuring her legs for an impressive $1million! The sale features a huge selection of posters, from her early career to her heyday in the 1920s and 1930s. Designed by the top French poster artists of the time including Zig, Gesmar and Cappiello, the striking, stylized images capture the glamour of Mistinguett by focusing on her playful, coquettish features, her incredible costumes and her highly- prized long legs.

He was 91 and lived in Cresskill, N.J. The New York Times, 1964 Craig Hugh Smyth The cause was a heart attack, his daughter, Alexandra, said. Mr. Smyth led the first academic program in conservation in the United States in 1960 as the director of the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University. Long before he began his academic career, he worked in the recovery of stolen art. After the defeat of Germany in World War II, Mr. Smyth was made director of the Munich Central Collecting Point, set up by the Allies for works that they retrieved. There, he received art and cultural relics confiscated by the Nazis, cared for them and tried to return them to their owners or their countries of origin. He served as a lieutenant in the United States Naval Reserve during the war, and the art job was part of his military service. Upon returning from Germany in 1946, he lectured at the Frick Collection and, in 1949, was awarded a Fulbright research fellowship, which took him to Florence, Italy.
