Description
We explore US history through Iconic photographs, movies, artworks and essays. For example, the film "To Kill a Mockingbird," allows us to delineate the image of race, class and family in the South during the Great Depression, even as the film opens up Hollywood's role in shaping popular ideologies.

Learn about 20th-century US history, including the Great Depression, Civil Rights Movement, and Cold War; develop writing and discussion skills; learn about the relationship between history and memory.
