And Now, the News! Exhibiting Inclusion at the 1939 World's Fair (Course or Curricular Material)Title: And Now, the News! Exhibiting Inclusion at the 1939 World's Fair
Author: Jen Cabiya
Author: Samantha Rubino
Author: Ryan Rindler
Abstract: Newspapers are often a key part of historical research. In the mid-1800s, World’s Fairs (also known as World Expositions) were a way for nations around the world to communicate their recent advancements. Newspapers captured who was there, what was displayed, and how it was received by the world. In this activity, students will examine newspaper clippings from the Dayton Forum, an African-American newspaper, to explore the first African-American exhibit held at a World’s Fair in the United States. They will consider what role they had in creating the exhibit, what their intentions were, and what their participation at the World’s Fair can tell us about American race relations on the eve of World War II. This lesson plan may also serve as a jumping off point for National History Day and the 2021 contest theme of Communication in History: The Key to Understanding.

Atomic Age: Support and Opposition to Atomic Weapons and Energy (Course or Curricular Material)Title: Atomic Age: Support and Opposition to Atomic Weapons and Energy
Author: Jen Cabiya
Author: Trevor Rhodes
Abstract: In this activity, students will be introduced to the topic of the Atomic Age. During the period from 1945-1962, people all across the United States debated the topic of atomic energy and weapons. Many people supported their use, while others questioned their efficacy. Much of this debate played out in newspaper columns and editorial letters. In this Document Based Question activity, students will read excerpts from newspaper articles printed during this time period. Students will analyze these excerpts and use them as evidence in a final essay that argues for or against the use of atomic energy and/or weapons.
