Website Spotlight: My Lai Trial
Website URL: http://law2.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/mylai/mylai.htm
I recommend you begin your enjoyment of this website by reading Douglas Linder's overview essay. [middle of the home screen, underneath the picture]
Each of the websites in this "Famous Trials" series has standard sections on the left sidebar labelled (more or less) as follows:
A. Chronology
B. Biographies/Key Figures
C. Selected Images
D. Excerpts from trial transcripts/Summary of evidence
E. Bibliography and Links
Follow your interests in deciding what parts of this main material to use.
Going beyond these normal categories, I myself found the following items (on the left sidebar) particularly intriguing:
Questions for discussion
Opinion Polls
On my Learning Professor wiki, this website fits within the following U.S.History survey course module:
