Great new resource for teachers


The above photo, taken in 1942, shows a Japanese American man and his grandsons waiting to be evacuated during a forced removal to an internment camp during World War II.

This photograph is one of 2 million from the archives of Life magazine that are now available online via a partnership between Life and Google (here is a link.) There are lots of amazing photos, taken from the 1860s through the 1970s, and most are large, high-quality scans which could be used as full-screen shots in a PowerPoint slide show. It's a good site to bookmark for future use.
