Units 8-9, Day 25

Background/context: We will watch SOME of the videos from Media Rich Learning: The Vietnam War. At the bare minimum, we will watch "Homefront."

Deep document read: MLK's "Beyond Vietnam" (please open via google classroom)

The Casualties of the War in Vietnam (February 25th, 1967): This is the MLK speech that is quoted in the Vietnam video, "Homefront."

Beyond Vietnam (April 4th, 1967): This is arguably the more famous of the two and was given 1 year to the day before his assassination. Stanford University has a link to the speech itself as well as links to several primary documents including several critical responses to the speech.

HOW CLOSE DID THE UNITED STATES ACTUALLY GET TO USING NUCLEAR WEAPONS IN VIETNAM IN 1968?

This is an older slide presentation from the on-level class. It includes more details about the war itself and was created to coordinate with the videos from Media Rich Learning. This presentation spans the full range of America's involvement in the Vietnam War.
