Website URL: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/zoot/
The parts of this website which I find particularly useful are the following:
I. The Film & More
Several items in the "Further Reading" section were especially useful to me:
"1943 Newspaper Clippings"
"Zoots by Zuavecito" (where you can buy a zoot suit today)
II. Special Features
The "Online Poll" can elicit discussion about those who wore a zoot suit to their high school prom.
Don't miss the article "Zoot Suit Culture."
III. Timeline
This comprehensive timeline is comprised not just of dates but a sentence or two explanation of each date.
IV. Gallery
Interesting series of photos of prison life at San Quentin.
V. People & Events
Great summary article: "The Zoot Suit Riots of 1943"
VI. Teacher's Guide
Make your choice from several wonderful suggestions.
On my Learning Professor wiki, this website fits within the following U.S. History survey course module:
