Industrial Revolution
Check out this site that deals with inventors and inventions related to the Industrial Revoltion, and read some about the travels of Muhammad As-Saffar, a Moroccan who visited France during the Industrial Revolution. Read selections from the book here. Think about ways you might compare the travel writing we've read previously with As-Saffar's journey, focusing on context, point of view, and change over time.

Well, in honor of MLK Day, this article was posted on the front page of MSN.com. I thought it was interesting and it follows with what you were saying in class today - that King did not just fight for equality among the races. It was much more than that. And the media finally recognizes that!
