The History and Controversy of Thanksgiving
November 22, 2022 | HeinOnline Blog

You may remember the story of the first Thanksgiving from your elementary school days, when you listened to the tale of the Pilgrims while you turned construction-paper cutouts of your hands into turkeys. But how much of that story is actually true? And how did Thanksgiving come to be an annual, national holiday?

Concussion Protocols and the NFL
November 7, 2022 | HeinOnline Blog

On September 25th, the Buffalo Bills played the Miami Dolphins in a much anticipated NFL game between rivals. However, the game itself isn’t what sparked controversy. Tua Tagovailoa, Miami Dolphins starting quarterback, was tackled late in the first half of the game. After shaking his head and standing back up, Tagovailoa stumbled to the ground, requiring help from his teammates to steady himself. He received a medical evaluation for a concussion and returned to the game shortly after.

The History of Disaster Relief in America
November 8, 2022 | HeinOnline Blog

The Atlantic hurricane season typically lasts from June 1 to November 30. As this year’s season comes to an end, we’ve already seen several disastrous storms hit U.S. territory, including Hurricanes Fiona and Ian. When these hurricanes hit land, they uproot lives and livelihoods, ripping apart buildings, flooding streets and homes, and killing the vulnerable. So, what is the federal government’s responsibility when a storm like this hits? Or when there’s another disaster, such as an earthquake, tornado, or wildfire?

Oil, Greed, and the Osage Murders
November 18, 2022 | HeinOnline Blog

Earlier this week on the HeinOnline Blog, we dove into the Serial Set to explore indigenous peoples’ struggles to gain suffrage and citizenship. In that post, we briefly explored the 1887 Dawes Act, which divided communal tribal lands into allotments, forcing tribes into practicing private property. In this post, we will explore the deadly results of one nation’s relationship with allotments: the Osage Nation’s oil headrights and the subsequent Osage murders.

One of the best features on HeinOnline – and one of the most useful for researchers and educators – is our extensive use of image-based, fully-searchable PDFs of historical documents. In this month’s edition of HeinOnline in the Classroom we’re going to focus on a particular historical document from HeinOnline’s collection: Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “Letter from Birmingham City Jail.“ Keep reading for more about this monumental work, and for two activities that you can use in your classroom to help your students engage with “Letter from Birmingham City Jail.”

 

Secrets of the Serial Set: Citizenship and Suffrage for Indigenous Peoples
November 15, 2022 | HeinOnline Blog

November is National Native American Heritage Month, and with Thanksgiving quickly approaching, we are reminded of the rich history and culture of the indigenous peoples of North America, as well as of the often brutal and destructive treatment they have received from the white people who have overtaken their land. It is no surprise that the pathway to indigenous peoples gaining citizenship and the right to vote in America—a land that they inhabited centuries before white Europeans “discovered” it—was tumultuous and hard-won.
