• Ken Burn's Civil War and Reconstruction (1850 - 1877) https://www.pbslearningmedia.org/collection/kenburnsclassroom/era/civil-war-and-reconstruction-1850-1877/ The American Civil War tore apart and tested a young nation not yet 100 years old. The era surrounding the war saw the end of slavery and the passage of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, important revisions to the U.S. Constitution. The period immediately following the Civil War provides opportunities to study how shared values of white Northerners and Southerners limited the potential for establishing a truly biracial democracy, and the persistence of racial tensions that would help define the 20th century.

Women's Rights

• Votes for Women https://www.si.edu/spotlight/votes-for-women After generations of struggle for suffrage, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was passed in 1919 and ratified in August of 1920, giving women the right to vote for the first time. African American women were denied equal access to the ballot and had to fight for the right to vote until the 1960s. The National Museum of African American History and Culture shares five African American suffragists you should know.
• How to Be American (Podcast) - S1 Ep3: She Galvanized a Movement https://www.tenement.org/podcast-she-galvanized-a-movement/ In this episode we explored how immigrant women fought to gain the right to vote and are still fighting to get seats at the table.

American Games

• Baseball - A Film by Ken Burns https://www.pbslearningmedia.org/collection/kenburnsclassroom/film/baseball/ This 18-hour film series examines nearly 200 years of American history through the prism of our national pastime. It is the story of the transformation of immigrants into new generations of Americans; of the rise and fall of cities; of our insatiable need for heroes. It traces the fortunes of two of the most beloved teams—the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Boston Red Sox—and tells the stories of the extraordinary stars of the Negro Leagues, the pioneers who paved the way for the integration of baseball, and ultimately, America at large.
• How to Be American (Podcast) - S2E1 Our Game https://www.tenement.org/podcast-season-two-episode-1/ In the first episode of season 2 of How To Be American, host Amanda Adler-Brennan talks with baseball historians and stickball players about the significance for city kids in being able to turn city streets and the sides of buildings into their very own ‘field of dreams’.
• Jackie Robinson - A Film By Ken Burns https://www.pbslearningmedia.org/collection/kenburnsclassroom/film/jackie-robinson/ This two-part, four-hour film, tells the story of an American icon whose life-long battle for first class citizenship for all African Americans transcended even his remarkable athletic achievements. Jack Roosevelt Robinson rose from humble origins to cross baseball’s color line in the 1940s. A fierce integrationist, he used his immense fame to speak out against discrimination on and off the field. After baseball, he was a widely-read newspaper columnist, divisive political activist, and tireless advocate for civil rights.
• Women in Baseball https://www.pbslearningmedia.org/resource/women-in-baseball-gallery/baseball/ In 1866, women at Vassar College founded the Laurel and Abenakis baseball clubs, which began a nationwide trend. These women's athletics clubs were forced to shut down after an athlete was injured, feeding into the widely-held notion baseball was too violent for women.

• The Dust Bowl - A Film By Ken Burns https://www.pbslearningmedia.org/collection/kenburnsclassroom/film/the-dust-bowl/ This four-hour documentary film series chronicles the decade-long, man-made ecological disaster known as “The Dust Bowl,” which affected 100 million acres of land in Texas, Oklahoma, and adjacent states in the 1930s. The film uses compelling interviews with 26 survivors, and also draws on seldom seen movie footage, previously unpublished photographs, songs, and written accounts to tell an epic story of human suffering, when thousands of desperate Americans were forced into an exodus unlike anything the United States has ever seen.

Undocumented immigrant Antonio Arceo, his wife Roxanna, and their five American-born children live in Illinois. When Roxana is deported after a routine traffic stop, Antonio is left with the task of working and caring for the children on his own. In addition to his physical struggles caring for the children, he feels emotional stress and considers moving the family back to Mexico. However, interviews with the children show their concern about leaving their country for a place they have never seen.

Beginning in the era when the land belonged only to American Indians and ending in the 20th century, the film is populated by unforgettable historical characters—from gold seekers to cowboys to homesteaders to American Indian leaders—whose competing dreams transformed the land, and turned the West into a lasting symbol of the nation itself.

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt entered office in 1933 and implemented policies to provide work for Americans and support farmers across the country. As the U.S. entered World War II in December of 1941, industrial production shifted toward supporting the war effort. The country faced widespread rationing and short supplies as the nation held its breath.
