Text: “New American History "explores America’s past, harnessing the power of digital media” and its core projects are:
Bunk, a curated remix of contemporary online content
American Panorama, an interactive digital atlas created by the Digital Scholarship Lab, integrating the humanities and social sciences with innovations in new media (e.g., mapmaking, data visualizations, storytelling).
An evolving Learning Resources library integrating inquiry-based digital scholarship tools and resources, including
Bunk, American Panorama, American Visions, The Valley of the Shadow, BackStory, and more into classroom ready learning experiences for secondary and post-secondary audiences.”

No! We are past nostalgia and symbolism. Barak Obama had his chance and we, the voters on the left did not organize and push him and the Democrats in the right direction. Time to move forward and organize.

The H.S.B. & Co #wafflemaker made by #Stover turned out quite well after the strip and season. The waffles themselves returned quite an interesting pattern and much thinner than expected (in comparison to the #Griswold #NewAmerican #waffleiron. A bit more crispy, but that means it needs more butter

Hello! I’m a #NewAmerican and just got an Urgent Care refund check sent to my 6 year old, written out to her. How do I bank this? She doesn’t have a bank account!
