Website Spotlight: Mississippi Burning
Website URL: http://law2.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/price&bowers/price&bowers.htm
Introductory Note:
Welcome to one in a series of posts which spotlight quality websites that I use with my U.S. History survey course students at Azusa Pacific University to enrich the regular material in our learning modules.
In this post, I limit myself to those specific aspects of the website which I find fit particularly well within our face-to-face class sessions (each student is required to bring a laptop to class) or as the basis for the students' regularly-assigned written reactions.
++++++++++
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:
In Quotes
FBI Poster
Ku Klux Klan documents (20 reasons why you should join the KKK)
"Mississippi Burning": The Movie
