Welcome!

Welcome to the first ever Resources for History Teachers blog! In this space we will post current news stories from around the US and the world. We thought it would be fun to have a blog to discuss current history, since history itself is not something that is strictly in the past. If you find any articles or stories that you'd like us to post on this blog for others to enjoy send them our way at: resourcesforhistoryteachers@gmail.com.

This week the New York Times featured a great article about Senator Ted Kennedy and his life as the Lion of the Senate. This article discusses how Senator Kennedy's politics were very similar to that of President Roosevelt with his New Deal policies. It's definitely an article worth reading.
