This short video reviews the Marbury vs. Madison case. At the time of the case, James Madison was the Secretary of State. Another man named William Marbury was one of the midnight judges appointed by John Adams in his final days as the president. Marbury needed commission in order to start work as a judge, but Madison refused to grant the document, and then the U.S Supreme Court got involved. The Court ruled that the law that the law under which Marbury's commission was authorized should be overturned because it permitted powers that violated the Constitution. By declaring the law unconstitutional for the first time in history, the Court had excercised one of the basic checks and balances that were built into the Constitution. Because of that case, the Judicial branch had thrown out a law and acted by Congress. This was the start of Judicial Review. A good video for students being introduced into this concept.

This video is accompanied by text. "When Theodore Roosevelt took over the presidency in September 1901, after the assassination of William McKinley, he inherited many of McKinley’s policies and programs. During McKinley’s second run for office, he promised to continue programs of prosperity intended to lift the U.S. out of the depression of 1893. The gold standard assigned value to bank notes based on the corresponding price of gold, while imperialism promoted greater U.S. involvement in foreign nations. Roosevelt, despite much public skepticism, vowed to preserve and expand McKinley’s programs..." (Well-produced video with slides and narration.)

Morrison, University of Northern British Columbia What forces transformed millions of hectares of grassland into one of the world's great food-producing areas in one generation? The story of the Prairie Provinces in this period is in many ways the story of Canada, and to learn what made these provinces what they are is to understand a great deal about the dynamic forces that created the modern country we now live in.

California’s flag is the historic Bear Flag raised at Sonoma on June 14, 1846, by a group of American settlers in revolt against Mexican rule. The flag was designed by William Todd on a piece of new unbleached cotton. The star imitated the lone star of Texas. A grizzly bear represented the many bears seen in the state. The word, "California Republic" was placed beneath the star and bear. It was adopted by the 1911 State Legislature as the State Flag. California’s anthem is, “I love You California,” written by F. B. Silverwood and composed by A. F. Frankenstein. (01:15)

The South Carolina flag history: Asked by the Revolutionary Council of Safety in the fall of 1775 to design a flag for the use of South Carolina troops, Col. William Moultrie chose a blue which matched the color of their uniforms and a crescent which reproduced the silver emblem worn on the front of their caps. The palmetto tree was added later to represent Moultrie's heroic defense of the palmetto-log fort on Sullivan's Island against the attack of the British fleet on June 28, 1776. South Carolina anthem: “Carolina”, written by Henry Timrod and composed by Anne Custis Burgess. With this video you can see the flag and hear the anthem. Good for all students.

"Books represent the gathered information of human beings all over the world since we've been able to write." Armstrong Williams reveals his knowledge of Dr. Angelou's kind acts to people in need. "I am trying to be a Christian.... a representative of my God." Armstrong asks how she has overcome the "-ism of race." First of all, if you don't transcend it, you give victory to the racist.... I am against anybody hurting anybody.... I'd like to be inspirational.... to encourage people to be more of themselves." Part 4 of 5 (9:40 - blank screen between 1:34 and 2:06)

Congratulations to Emily Fitch of Fort Wayne, Indiana, for her winning book trailer for The Everafter by Amy Huntley. Fitch created the book trailer based on the 2010 William C. Morris finalist as part of YALSA's 2010 Morris/Nonfiction Book Trailer contest. "I'm super pumped to say the least. I always think it’s cool when I can find something different or a story that can present something (in this case, the afterlife) in a way that I never thought of before. My goal wasn’t exactly to show every scene and say 'so this thing happens, then this happens', but rather to portray though the images and music the feeling I got while reading the book. The sort of feelings of loneliness and longing that the main character experiences."
Madison Stanton doesn't know where she is or how she got there. But she does know this - she is dead. And alone in a vast, dark space. (2:16) Music: treow
