Students will understand the following: The United States conducts a census every 10 years. The percentage of African Americans in different parts of the United States changed in the course of the last century. There are economic, educational, and lifestyle reasons that African Americans moved from one part of the country to another. For this lesson, you will need: Access, in print or online, to U.S. population statistics from 1900 to the present Explain to students that they are going to track the population of African Americans in the South and in the North of the United States during the course of the 20th century. Ask students what resources they can use in this assignment. This question should lead to identifying for students books of statistical data in your school library, public library, or nearby university library as well as Web sites such as census Even casually reviewing the data, students should be able to tell you the frequency with which the U.S. population is counted. With that information they should be able to set up a chart for recording data from their sources.

Immigration Settlement Organizations/ Religion Discrimination ... Selected References A History of Japanese Americans in California: IMMIGRATION One of the first groups of settlers that came from Japan to the United States, the Wakamatsu Tea and Silk Farm Colony under the leadership of John Schnell, arrived at Cold Hill, El Dorado County, in June 1869. Additional colonists arrived in the fall of 1869. These first immigrants brought mulberry trees, silk cocoons, tea plants, bamboo roots, and other agricultural products. The U.S. Census of 1870 showed 55 Japanese in the United States; 33 were in California, with 22 living at Gold Hill. Within a few years of the colony's founding, the colonists had dispersed, their agricultural venture a failure. Wakamatsu Tea and Silk Farm Colony, El Dorado County The 1880 Census showed 86 Japanese in California, with a total of 148 in the United States. Possibly these were students, or Japanese who had illegally left their country, since Japanese laborers were not allowed to leave their country until after 1884 when an agreement was signed between the Japanese government and Hawaiian sugar plantations to allow labor immigration. From Hawaii, many Japanese continued on to the United States mainland. In 1890, 2,038 Japanese resided in the United States; of this number, 1,114 lived in California. Laborers for the Hawaiian sugar plantations were carefully chosen. In 1868, a group of Japanese picked off the streets of Yokohama and shipped to Hawaii had proved to be unsatisfactory. Thereafter, a systematic method of recruiting workers from specific regions in Japan was established. Natives from Hiroshima, Kumamoto, Yamaguchi, and Fukushima were sought for their supposed expertise in agriculture, for their hard work, and for their willingness to travel. Immigrants to California from these prefectures constituted the largest numbers of Japanese in the state.

Home The Encyclopedia of American Studies By Miles Orvell The publication of an encyclopedia in any given field says immediately: this subject has academic recognition; it has maturity; there is even possibly a consensus among scholars as to what the subject is. For a field as contentious as American Studies, given to a history of self-searching, and seeming at times to press its cause bravely from the margins of established disciplines, the publication of an encyclopedia accordingly signifies something of a milestone; yet it might also create a certain nervousness if we view the encyclopedia as a final definitive statement. Still, an encyclopedia can be viewed (with apologies to Frost) as a momentary stay against confusion, a summing up, a view from the mountain topwhich doesn’t mean there are no longer any mountains to climb.

Bennahum The Natural History of Africa Professor G. Sideris Examining the natural history of an entire continent is an ambitious undertaking. Africa, however, consists of distinct biological regions or biomes, and lends itself to a practical approach of study where specific regions can be defined. For example, each biome is home to unique plants and fascinating animals of all classes, and thus each biome provides unique subject matter for investigation and intensive study. Among the regions we will examine are the Serengeti plains, the Sahara desert, the Nile valley, the Kalahari, and the rain forest. French Influence in Russia Prof. I. Gorbatov

History [From Volume 1: Introduction] Nancy R. Morin Richard W. Spellenberg The Flora of North America project has grown out of a long history of interest in the flora area and has built on the experiences of previous efforts to produce a comprehensive flora. It has been designed to draw on the expertise of the entire systematic botany community and to make the best possible use of the literature and herbarium specimens that are essential resources for the project. Despite current interest in and urgency of botanical studies of many other kinds, there continues to be a need for information about the plants of North America on a continental scale. Home The Flora Introduction History ... Contact FNA Historical Background The Flora of North America project derives from the deep interest that botanists have in studying and characterizing the plants of the region and the need for authoritative information for basic and applied research, conservation, and resource management. Ever since explorers first sent North American plants to Europe, the world has known that the flora is rich and interesting. The first accounts of plants from the area were published in Europe by European botanists (e.g., in Robert Morison's Historiae [16801699], Leonard Plukenet's

John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946. Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860. John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960. The names Lincoln and Kennedy each contain seven letters. Both were particularly concerned with civil rights. Both wives lost their children while living in the White House. Both Presidents were shot on a Friday. Both were shot in the head. Lincoln's secretary, Kennedy, warned him not to go to the theatre. Kennedy's secretary, Lincoln, warned him not to go to Dallas. Both were assassinated by Southerners. Both were succeeded by Southerners. Both successors were named Johnson. Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808. Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908. John Wilkes Booth was born in 1839. Lee Harvey Oswald was born in 1939. Both assassins were known by their three names.
