HW Assignments Week of 3/21/2011
Hello, APUSHers:
Here are your assignments for the week. Additionally, HERE IS YOUR STUDY GUIDE FOR THE BIG EXAM! THIS FRIDAY.
Warren G. Harding
To many, Warren G. Harding was an ineffective philanderer whose presidency became entangled in scandal. Fred Nielsen's guest, John Dean, sets the record straight, arguing that Warren G. Harding was a far better president than popular opinion allows. John Dean served for three years as White House counsel in the Nixon administration. His new book, Warren G. Harding is part of The American Presidents series, edited by Arthur Schlesinger Jr. Airdate: December 13, 2004.
The Tulsa Riot
In 1921 a black man in Tulsa, Oklahoma was accused of sexually assaulting a white woman. The charge sparked one of the worst riots in US history – which was all but lost to history until publication of Reconstructing the Dreamland by Alfred Brophy, our guest this week, on Talking History. Airdate: December 9, 2002.
