For educators who are looking for a progressive supplement to the current mainstream high school or college history courses, this site, based on the writings and inspirations of historian Howard Zinn, offers a plethora of interesting resources. Zinn, who died in 2010, was best known for his book, A People's History of the United States, which focused its analysis on the experiences of less powerful people in American history, rather than elite politicians and businessmen. On the site readers can Explore by Theme (African American, Art & Music, Democracy & Citizenship, Disability, Math, Media, and many others) or Explore by Time Period (Colonization, Revolution & Constitution, Early 19th Century, Civil War Era, and others). Selecting Prosperity, Depression, & World War II: 1920-1944 will reveal three pages of resources that can be whittled down by Resource Type or Reading Level. Not sure exactly what you're looking for? The complete collection of resources can be found within Teacher Materials or by using the well-developed search functionality.
