To students, anything that happened before they were born is ancient history. They didn’t experience the Camelot era, the Space Race, the Watergate scandal, or the Vietnam War, so those and other significant periods have made no deep and lasting impression on them. Use this newly edited and remastered 11-part series from the archives of NBC News to engage your students’ hearts and minds with footage of some of the pivotal events of recent U.S. history—watersheds that have shaped their world in ways they probably don’t even realize. To watch these programs is to see the first draft of history unfold before your eyes. Not available in French-speaking Canada. 11-part series, 28-74 minutes each.
