The Library of Congress Learning About Immigration Through Oral History Barbara Wysocki and Frances Jacobson The primary goal of this activity is to give students the genuine experience of oral history in order to appreciate the process of historiography. We identified immigrants in our community who reflect the ethnic diversity of our student body, enabling students to compare and contrast the stories of these contemporary immigrants with those researched in the thirties reflected in American Life Histories, 1936-1940 and other American Memory collections. Students engage in visual and information literacy exercises to gain an understanding of how to identify and interpret primary historical sources. Further background on the project and its context in our eighth grade history course can be obtained by reading this letter to parents. As designed, this project is almost a year-long experience. However, individual components can be adapted as standalone units, dropped altogether, or expanded to suit local needs. Why oral history?

Asian Americans Click here for animation Q- Did the Native Americans learn farming 7,000 years ago?  Back to menu. Exploring Americas. Introduction       Christopher Columbus officially had discovered America for Europe, but this is only because there is not enough proofs to say that the Vikings or other culture from Europe were the discoverers.        Do you believe that the Vikings were the first Europeans here?. In 1000 A.C. times there were hardly anyone that knew the real stories, because there wasn't a good way of communication, and is hard to believe that they were saying the truth. The majority of people didn't know how to write. So the stories were passed along by words, and the people back then had to memorize everything, so I guess, that if someone forgot a part of the story, replaced with whatever they wanted. While some scientist try to find more written stories that were made back then, others try to find proof that the stories that are passed along by words were true (or not). People at that time also had beliefs of gods like Thor and Odin so a lot of times they apply these gods to the stories. Because of these facts , everyone assumes that Christopher Columbus was the discover. Q- Who discovered Vinland for the Vikings and when approximately?

His 270: Immigration and Ethnicity in American History, 1815 to the present Fall 2003 Dr. McClymer (Founders 112, ext. 7278) Description: Where feasible we will draw upon materials dealing with Worcester, Massachusetts to explore these themes. We will take a broadly "cultural" approach and will look at a wide variety of materials, including cartoons, popular songs, movies, advertising campaigns in addition to government reports, newspaper stories and editorials, and memoirs. Because there is such a rich array of resources available, students will normally get to choose among a variety of approaches to topics. Films will include: "The Jazz Singer"; "The Godfather, Part Two"; and "Zelig." (Above is a famous photograph by Lewis Hine of a Russian Jewish immigrant at Ellis Island in 1905.) Format: Class meetings will be conducted as WORKSHOPS. Students will work together on the course materials. Most of these will be posted or otherwise linked to the course website, others will be on reserve in the D'Alzon Library. All participants in the course, including the instructor, are students. Our goal is to work together to gain an understanding of how the related processes of emigration, ethnic identification, and "Americanization" have worked themselves out and how they have helped shape American life. Prerequisites: None.

FRtR Outlines American History (1994) Chapter Nine Tension over Immigration (6/8) An Outline of American History (1994) Chapter Nine Tension over Immigration (6/8) Previous Page Next Page Restriction of foreign immigration during the 1920s marked a significant change in U.S. policy. Immigration had soared in the late 19th century and peaked in the early 20th century. Between 1900 and 1915, for example, more than 13 million people came to the United States, with the preponderance from Southern and Eastern Europe. Many of these people were Jewish or Catholic, a fact that alarmed many older Americans who were predominately Anglo-Saxon and Protestant. Some resented the newcomers because they competed for low-wage jobs, others because the new immigrants maintained Old World customs, often lived in urban ethnic enclaves, and seemed to resist assimilation into the larger American culture. As a result of this immigrant surge after World War I, nativist appeals intensified. A reorganized Ku Klux Klan emerged calling for "100-percent Americanism." Unlike the Klan of Reconstruction, the new Klan restricted its membership to native-born white Protestants, and campaigned against Catholics, Jews and immigrants as well as African Americans. By redefining its enemies, the Klan broadened its appeal to parts of the North and Midwest, and for a time, its membership swelled. Anti-immigration sentiment was codified in a series of measures, culminating in the Immigration Quota Law of 1924 and a 1929 act. These laws limited the annual number of immigrants to 150,000, to be distributed among peoples of various nationalities in proportion to the number of their compatriots already in the United States in 1920. One result of these restrictions was to reduce the appeal of nativist organizations; the Great Depression of the 1930s also caused a sharp drop in immigration.

THE 1965 IMMIGRATION ACT During the early 1960s, Presidents Kennedy and Johnson wanted policies that could be used as a psychological tool against communism in the Cold War. This would be combined with President Johnson’s ’’Great Society’’ anti-poverty and civil rights policies and therefore designed to show the rest of the world that the U.S. was indeed the land of equal opportunity, as opposed to the totalitarian oppression of communist countries.

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History IMMIGRATION RESTRICTION LEAGUE This organization was founded in 1894 by a group of Boston lawyers, professors, and philanthropists who were alarmed by the large number of immigrants entering America each year. The league urged that immigrants be required to demonstrate literacy in some language. In theory a literacy test would not discriminate against the people of any particular race, creed, or color. But in reality it would keep out many of the "new" immigrants from southern and eastern Europe —whom league members considered inferior beings, likely to become criminals or public charges if admitted. A literacy bill was passed by Congress in 1897, but President Grover Cleveland vetoed it. In 1917, however, as wartime hysteria fed American xenophobia, another literacy bill was passed over by President Woodrow Wilson's veto. After 1917, as key members lost interest or passed away, the Immigration Restriction League declined in influence.
