***USING THE WEB SUITE TO STUDY SLAVERY AND CIVIL RIGHTS***
The Declaration of Independence may have declared that "all men are
created equal," but laws did not treat them that way. Teachers, to help
your students understand that slavery was a legal institution in the
United States until the Thirteenth Amendment abolished it in 1865, you
will find these links helpful:
Major Features of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 -- Historical Pressure
for Legislation Action --
http://www.congresslink.org/civil/essay.html#history. Discusses how the
13th, 14th, and 15th amendments outlawed slavery. Outlines the
provisions, guarantees, and protections for African Americans.
Brief annotations of the Constitution of the United States --
http://www.congresslink.org/notes.html#constitute. Discusses the
division between slave and free states and the Constitutional
Convention's attempt to avoid using the word "slavery" in the articles
granting recognition and protection.
In 1819 when the Missouri Territory, which allowed slavery, applied for
statehood, the free states objected. To learn more about this plan
which was agreed to by the United States Congress in 1820 to settle
debate over slavery in the Louisiana Purchase area, visit this month's
About Government "hot link," Link to "Political Compromises: Missouri
Compromise" at:
http://www.aboutgovernment.org/historicaldocuments.htm#general.
The issue of the extension of slavery was raised again when the
territory of the United States was acquired at the end of the Mexican
War. Congress approved the Compromise of 1850 after considerable
debate. Do your students know about this series of legislative
enactments? If not, introduce our featured lesson plan "The Compromise
of 1850." This lesson employs the Compromise of 1850 to illustrate
the process of compromise in the U.S. Congress. Find this lesson at:
http://www.congresslink.org/lessonplans/CK1850.html.
The Supreme Court ruled that slaves must remain slaves even though they
resided in a free state in the 1857 Dred Scott decision. To learn more
about the Fourteenth Amendment and the rest of the Amendments made so
far to the Constitution, visit our "Congress for Kids" Web site --
http://www.congressforkids.net. Print the scrambler found at --
http://www.congressforkids.net/games/amendments/1_scramble.htm -- and
match the Amendment number with its definition. Once you're finished,
click "Play More" and find 10 more activities that teach about the
Amendments.
Although the Civil War (1861-1865) began as a test of whether states
could withdraw from the Union, the goals of the North soon broadened to
include abolishing slavery. On January 1, 1863, President Abraham
Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation that freed the slaves in
the defiant areas of the country. Then Senate Minority Leader Everett
Dirksen discussed the Emancipation Proclamation in July 1963 as Congress
began considering what would become the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Read
the "Excerpt from Everett Dirksen's notebook, ca. July 1963" at:

DIGITAL DIVIDE LIVES, FEW PEOPLE CARE
The digital divide still is very much alive, but U.S. corporations and the
federal government have unfairly abdicated their roles in helping to bring
the Internet to U.S. citizens regardless of their race or class, said former
U.S. Commerce Undersecretary Clarence "Larry" Irving. "We're a nation
online?" Irving said, noting that 60 percent of African-Americans don't have
any Internet access, nor do 70 percent of Hispanic-Americans. Speaking at
the Computers Freedom and Privacy 2002 conference in San Francisco, Irving
responded to an earlier speaker's assertion that the U.S. should view the
digital divide situation as a "glass that's half-full," Irving said, "Lady,
for the folks who don't have access, it is completely empty." Irving, who
made the digital divide a front-and-center issue for the Clinton
administration, said that the Bush administration's elimination or scaling
back of several important programs to close the divide also reveals a basic
lack of desire to make the Internet a ubiquitous tool in the U.S.

FLASH: IT'S ACCESSIBLE
Jason Smith, technical director at the American Association for the
Advancement of Science has invented a Flash captioning tool that will allow
blind and deaf Web surfers to enjoy Flash-enabled Web sites. Smith said,
"Using Flash at all, in Flash 5 made it inaccessible." The new captioning
tool will work with screen readers that translate Web information by reading
it aloud or sending it to a Braille display. Andrew Kirkpatrick, technical
project coordinator for the CPB/WBGH National Center for Accessible Media
has said the new tool makes Flash captioning practical. While Section 508 of
the Rehabilitation Act requires Web sites to be accessible to people with
disabilities, many Web designers are still playing catch up. Jamie Berke, a
deaf captioning advocate, applauded the new Flash captioning tool but also
said, "The key is the mind-set of Web video producers, who must learn to
automatically include captioning as part of their production
process...Producers have to be made aware of the existence of the tool and
encouraged to use it."

kids do not distinguish well between ads and content -- which is of
