During the summer of 1968, the Departmant established recommended guidelines to implement this regulation (see Appendix A) and published a bibliography of Afro - American materials entitled From Slavery to Protest. A second publication was planned to complete the multi-ethnic approach, including materials on all other ethnic and racial groups with particular emphasis placed on those identified as minorities. Rather than continue further reprints of the Afro-American Bibliography, it was decided to combine these references with those relating to other minority groups and to add a number of new Afro-American materials which have become available since the initial publication of From Slavery to Protest. Format A section is devoted to each of the major minorities, a multi-ethnic section contains materials for two or more of these groups, and a section on other Americans provides a wide sampling of the many and varied ethnic groups which have contributed to American cultural diversity. The final section lists Resources for Intergroup Education to provide perspective, background content and suggested methodology to assist school personnel in the implementation of the Curriculum Regulations, mandated by the State Boarc of Education on March 9, 1968 (see Appendix B). The entries for the major ethnic and racial groups are listed alphabetically under separate categories: Social Interpretation, History, Biography, Arts (Art, Drama, Music, Literature), Fiction, Guides, Teaching Units, Bibliographies, and Audiovisual Materials. The other sections are not sub-divided, but titles in these sections are marked with the appropriate category.New materials in the Afro- American and Intergroup Resources sections are marked by an asterisk (*).Addresses are given for the few publishers not listed in the current Books in Print.Wherever possible, entries are annotated, and quotations are from publishers' catalogs or other reviewing media. An approximate grade level is indicated by letter at the end of each citation, coded as follows: N - Preschool P - Grades 1 and 2 I - Grades 3 and 4 A - Grades 5 and 6 J Grades 7, 8 and 9 S - Grades 10, 11 and 12 S+ - College, Adult TR - Teacher Reference v- 5 Since we recognize that certain groups will have specific local relevance, an efforhas been made to provide extensive coverage of many ethnic and racial minorities in American society. TA) realize that it is not an exhaustive listing of available materials; selection was based. on criteria adapted from Guidelines for Textbook Selection, Department of Education, 1967, and the endorsed. principles of the School Library Bill of Rights, American Library Association, 1955.Since publication deadlines preclude many new materials especially in such rapidly developing areas as minority history, an annual supplement is planned.We shall appreciate hearing from you if you have suggestions for making this publication more valuable.

    Cornishness and Englishness: Nested Identities Or Incompatible Ideologies?

    CORNISHNESS AND ENGLISHNESS: NESTED IDENTITIES OR INCOMPATIBLE IDEOLOGIES? Bernard Deacon (International Journal of Regional and Local History 5.2 (2009), pp.9-29) In 2007 I suggested in the pages of this journal that the history of English regional identities may prove to be ‘in practice elusive and insubstantial’.1 Not long after those words were written a history of the north east of England was published by its Centre for Regional History. Pursuing the question of whether the north east was a coherent and self-conscious region over the longue durée, the editors found a ‘very fragile history of an incoherent and barely self-conscious region’ with a sense of regional identity that only really appeared in the second half of the twentieth century.2 If the north east, widely regarded as the most coherent English region, lacks a historical identity then it is likely to be even more illusory in other regions. Although rigorously testing the past existence of a regional discourse and finding it wanting, Green and Pollard’s book also reminds us that history is not just about scientific accounts of the past. They recognise that history itself is ‘an important element in the construction of the region … Memory of the past is deployed, selectively and creatively, as one means of imagining it … We choose the history we want, to show the kind of region we want to be’.3 In the north east that choice has seemingly crystallised around a narrative of industrialization focused on the coalfield and the gradual imposition of a Tyneside hegemony over the centuries following 1650.

    Gwendolyn Brooks 1917–2000

    Name _____________________________ Class _________________ Date __________________ The Civil Rights Movement Biography Gwendolyn Brooks 1917–2000 WHY SHE MADE HISTORY Gwendolyn Brooks was an award-winning poet, novelist, and a leader of the Black Arts Movement. She was also the first African American poet to receive a Pulitzer Prize. As you read the biography below, think about the role Gwendolyn Brooks’ writing played in the civil rights movement. Why was her poetry significant? Bettmann/CORBIS © As African Americans worked to bring an end to discrimination, most still lived in poor inner city neighborhoods. The Black Power movement focused on the need for social and economic reforms. A Black Arts Movement also emerged to tell the story of African American life. Poet Gwendolyn Brooks was at the forefront of this movement. Gwendolyn Brooks was born in Topeka, Kansas, in 1917. Two months after her birth, her family moved to Chicago, Illinois, where she would live for the rest of her life. Brooks was a shy child who developed an interest in writing. Her mother encouraged this interest, and teachers helped develop her talent. At an early age, Brooks was published in national magazines and newspapers. After graduation from high school, Brooks entered community college and received an associate’s degree. She worked at many different jobs, from maid to spiritual healer. Later she would write about these experiences. She was also involved in the Youth Council of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and helped found a club for young black artists and writers. Through this club, she met her future husband, poet Henry Blakely.

    November 2015 VOL. 36 PSP Newsletter Nacel Open Door Private School Program Thanksgiving Dinner Originated from the Pilgrims in the 1620s, Thanksgiving is the most celebrated holiday is the US. Although it wasn’t my first Thanksgiving as a foreign exchange student, I never had an opportunity to have a legitimate Thanksgiving dinner. During the past few years, the family members would come over, but I just felt like there weren’t any special hypes, or feelings of Thanksgiving. It rather felt like an ordinary dinner. So this year, I was very excited to celebrate Thanksgiving with my host family, because they are who I really love, and couldn’t wait to meet the rest of the family members. Thursday morning, November 26th, my host mom and I went to aunt Maryann’s house, where everyone is gathering this year. We were the first ones to arrive, so I got to help with preparing the meal. We spent some time together like playing games, talking about favorite music artists, and having some snacks while the meal was prepared. traditional Thanksgiving dishes: turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, We also watched a football game, Philadelphia Eagles versus Detroit stuffing, macaroni and cheese, potatoes and asparagus, bourbon Lions. It is very typical to watch football on Thanksgiving. This yams, which are like sweet potatoes. I tried a little bit of everything tradition was started few years after President Lincoln declared because I didn’t want to overeat myself, (I knew I’m going to have some Thanksgiving as an official holiday. Yale and Princeton were the first pie for dessert too!) but I could barely finish what was on my plate.

Their leadership came from the religious congregations of Brownist English Dissenters who had fled the volatile political environment in the East Midlands of England for the relative calm and tolerance of Holland in the Netherlands. Concerned with losing their cultural identity, the group later arranged with English investors to establish a new colony in North America. The colony, established in 1620, became the second successful English settlement (after the founding of Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607) and later the oldest continuously inhabited British settlement in what was to become the United States of America. The Pilgrims' story of seeking religious freedom has become a central theme of the history and culture of the United States. History Separatists in Scrooby The core of the group that would come to be known as the Pilgrims were brought together by a common belief in the ideas promoted by Richard Clyfton, a Brownist parson at All Saints' Parish Church in Babworth, Nottinghamshire, between 1586 and 1605.

    Professor Stephen Pitti, Yale University Over the last century, scholars have written dozens of important studies that excavate the deep and diverse histories of Latinos in the United States, and that show the central role that Latinos have played in American history for hundreds of years. Community historians, historical preservationists, museum professionals, and non-academic researchers have been equally important to chronicling and preserving those histories. In 2013, when the National Park Service published the American Latinos and the Making of the United States theme study, it recognized that Latino history is a critical and powerful area of scholarship, one that is vital for twenty-first century historical preservation and interpretation. The following bibliography offers only a fraction of the important books that might guide new discussions of the centrality of Latino history to the history of the United States: Acosta-Belén, Edna, and Carlos Enrique Santiago.
