This reader collects fourteen influential essays by Herbert Aptheker (1915–2003) on the African American experience. Written with passion and eloquence, they are full of ideas originally dismissed by a white, segregated academy that have now become part of the scholarly mainstream. Covering topics including slave resistance, black abolitionists, Reconstruction, and W. E. B. Du Bois, these essays demonstrate the critical connection between political commitment and the advancement of scholarship, while restoring Aptheker's central place as one of the founding scholars in the development of African American studies.

All new history is revisionist history. This only gets dicey with the Holocaust since Survivors use the term "revisionist" for deniers or justifiers of the Holocaust. As this definition shows, communist historians can be revisionists and right-wing historians can be revisionist. All historians should aim to be revisionist if they are writing for academics (i.e. journals) and not the general public, if not there really is no reason to publish and no reason why the historian's work should be published since it is not new and not "revising" what we already know.

This provides a database of archaeological sites currently under excavation, including images of artefacts and some historical information. You search by region and then get a list of sites currently being worked on, so it can be a bit time-consuming but would be excellent for student research.

I tried using this 3d virtual model of ancient Rome in Google Earth but couldn't get it running. It looks supercool (and useful) so if anyone can get it working Id love to know how you did it.

A site which students can use to... actually I don't get it. If it works though it looks very cool. It's something the kids can use as little mini-historians and then publish the product to the web. It's focussed on US history (well they are the 'hyperpower', aren't they?).

Brigid Schulte -- The Case for Year-Round School - washingtonpost.com - 0 views

Though different schools and districts have different schedules, our modified calendar works like this: The first day back to school typically falls in the first week of August. The children attend regular classes for nine weeks. Then they have a two-week break, or intersession, in October, when they can choose either to attend fun, creative classes or to go on vacation. Then they have nine more weeks of school, winter break, and then a week of intersession in January. Nine more weeks of school, then a two-week intersession that bumps up against spring break. The school year ends in June, at the same time as schools on the traditional calendar. But summer break lasts five or six weeks, rather than the traditional 10.

I would be willing to do this schedule. It makes more sense to break up the learning this way, in my opinion.
