"The transition to an industrial economy posed many problems for the United States. This course examines those problems and the responses to them that came to be known as progressivism. The course includes the study of World War I as a manifestation of progressive principles. The course emphasizes the political thought of Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and their political expression of progressive principles."

From the Facing History and Ourselves website:

"Please join Facing History and Ourselves in Washington, DC for a one-day workshop on Eleanor Roosevelt and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, with Facing History staff and guest speaker, Dr. Allida Black, Director of the Eleanor Roosevelt Papers.

On December 10, 1948, shortly after the devastation of World War II and the horrors of the Holocaust, the newly formed United National General Assembly passed the UDHR. At the time, Eleanor Roosevelt, the chairperson of the Commission on Human Rights, the group that researched and wrote the document, said: 'Man's desire for peace lies behind this Declaration. The realization that the flagrant violation of human rights by Nazi and fascist countries sowed the seeds of the last world war has supplied the impetus for the work which brings us to the moment of achievement here today. We will examine the concept of 'universal' rights, the negotiation of values, the limits of sovereignt—as well as this document's aspiration, vision and the role of education in human rights."

From the National Humanities Center website:

"When we teach Reconstruction, we typically focus on the struggle to reunite the North and the South. But what of the West? What role did it play in national reunification? The late nineteenth century was the zenith of westward expansion. Western images dominated American culture. What did the wide-open spaces of the West represent to the Americans who were crowding into the cities of the Northeast? What did they represent to the ex-Confederates who resented the imposition of federal power in the South? How did the West shape the nation that emerged from the Civil War?"
