Written by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Introduction by Walter Dean Myers
Beacon Press | Trade Paperback | | 978-0-8070-3305-0 | 272 pages | $15.00
The first collection of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s essential writings for high school students and young people
A Time to Break Silence presents Martin Luther King, Jr.'s most important writings and speeches--carefully selected by teachers across a variety of disciplines--in an accessible and user-friendly volume. Now, for the first time, teachers and students will be able to access Dr. King's writings not only electronically but in stand-alone book form.
Arranged thematically in five parts, the collection includes nineteen selections and is introduced by award-winning author Walter Dean Myers. Included are some of Dr. King's most well-known and frequently taught classic works, including "Letter from Birmingham Jail" and "I Have a Dream," as well as lesser-known pieces such as "The Sword that Heals" and "What Is Your Life's Blueprint?" that speak to issues young people face today.

The National Vietnam War Museum
Plans are underway for The National Vietnam War Museum's first permanent building. It will be a two story structure, with 10,000 square feet of exhibit space and gift shop on the main floor, and an 8,000 square foot second floor with offices and exhibits. The main floor exhibits will consist of our first three galleries: Introduction to the Vietnam War/Vietnam Era; The Home Front, which will feature a replica of the LBJ Oval Office; and Camp Wolters/Fort Wolters, which will feature a training helicopter, and other items relevant to the base.
The mission of the museum is to promote an understanding of the Vietnam Era and honor the men and women who served in the Vietnam War. To further that mission, in addition to a museum, we have also produced a booklet about the Vietnam War and the Vietnam Era for use by students and teachers as a basis for discussion. These booklets are available to schools at no charge, and can be requested by contacting the museum at P. O. Box 1779, Weatherford, TX 76086. The museum is located at 12685 Mineral Wells Highway, U.S. Highway 180, east of the city of Mineral Wells, Texas.

Barnard College
History is not only the record of the past, but also the discipline of investigating and interpreting the past. The study of history develops habits of critical thinking and effective writing, as well as cultivates the careful analysis of various types of quantitative and qualitative evidence.
Barnard students who major in History focus their study on a region (such as Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, South Asia), period (such as ancient, medieval, modern), or theme (such as urban history, intellectual history, colonial history, economic history, etc.). Class formats range from introductory survey courses to seminars. The senior thesis is the culmination of undergraduate history education at Barnard. Students draw upon the skills of research, analysis, and argumentation that they acquire as a History major to dig deeply into one area of history and to emerge as an expert on that topic.
The Barnard History Department has funds to support archival and field research in the United States and abroad. In recent years, History majors have utilized these funds to conduct research in China, Florida, England, Hungary, Singapore, and Texas. In addition to the many events related to the study of history on campus, the History Department hosts events for faculty and majors several times a semester.
A History degree is valuable not only to undergraduates who intend to pursue advanced degrees in the field, but also to students interested in exploring the diversity and complexity of the human past as they hone their analytical and expository skills. Historical knowledge and historical thinking are translatable to realms of experience far beyond the classroom --- from the job market to the exercise of citizenship.

National World War I Museum and Memorial
The National World War I Museum and Memorial is America's leading institution dedicated to remembering, interpreting and understanding the Great War and its enduring impact on the global community. Located in Kansas City, Missouri, the Museum holds the most comprehensive collection of World War I objects and documents in the world and was designated by Congress as America's official World War I Museum and Memorial.
As part of its mission, the Museum offers a host of education resources and opportunities. Via its website (theworldwar.org) individuals can browse interactive online exhibitions about subjects such as the lives of African-Americans during the war and the role food played in the war. The website features an online collections database of more than 20,000 searchable records, images, letters and more as well as lesson plans, primary source materials, videos and more - all searchable by grade level and subject matter. The Museum's YouTube channel includes dozens of accessible videos featuring presentations from the world's leading authorities on the Great War.
In partnership with the U.S. World War I Centennial Commission, Library of Congress, National History Day, National Archives and a host of other organizations, the Museum launched Understanding the Great War in 2016, a free bimonthly electronic newsletter to bring the best education resources into the classroom. Anyone may sign up to receive the newsletter at https://www.theworldwar.org/education/archive
In 2017, the Museum is hosting a pair of symposia: 1917: America Joins the Fight (Nov. 3-4) and Remembering Muted Voices: Conscience, Dissent, Resistance and Civil Liberties in World War I Through Today (Oct. 19-22).
