Racism, Antiracism, and ReconstructionRacism, Antiracism, and ReconstructionBelow are several World Wide Web home pages related to this week's reading. After you have read Loewen and Hollitz, select at least two sites to examine. Pick sites with content interests you. As you examine the sites, consider what these resources offer that your readings do not provide.
As you may know, anyone can put a home page on the web. It's important as you cruise the Internet to note who is responsible for the home pages: the Library of Congress, a university, an individual or group. These links were selected because:
- their content relates fairly directly to the readings.
- their content is information-rich in terms of history.
- their design is not cumbersome generally -- no long waits while large graphics load, no frames, etc.
