Home Pages’ takes you today to an Organization of American Historians’ Journal of American History Web site. Through its “History Cooperative,” current issues of the journal are online. In the most current issue, for example, read about Richard Bartlett Gregg, America’s first major theorist of militant nonviolence; the 1919 actors’ strike that darkened theaters in New York City; and the iconography of the revolutionary era. A special feature is “Teaching the JAH,” which takes an article from the journal and suggests ways that content might be used in a U.S. history survey course. “The Great Hair Debate,” from the September 2004 journal, takes an article written by Gael Graham concerning the 1970 Karr v. Schmidt case of a Texas teenager refused admittance to school because of the length of his hair. Discussion exercises revolve around youth rights and the law, high school dress codes and public opinion.
