For Monday, May 5
I knew I'd run out of time, before I ran out of "stuff".  I have a video I want to show you from The American Experience Series, Entitled 1900.  Normally, I've taught this course twice a week, in two minute segments.  Showing Videos gets a little tricky when the class is only 50 minutes long.  This video happens to have four segments.  We've two more classes, including this one.  I've created a .pdf file of the transcript of the whole thing.  Click on the gold button to read it.  I will show as much of it as I can today and Wednesday.  If there is interest and I can find a room,  I can show the rest on Wednesday afternoon after classes are over.  Room TBA.  I'll query the class about this when I introduce this web page.
