For the homework I read the Introduction to Mightier Than The Sword. A few key subjects I would like to bring up from the reading is when the Ku Klux Klan was being defeated by the news papers and radio. Rodger Streitmatter also explained how this book would give a good understanding to the American media and American culture through his past education and what he has learned. In chapter 1, great historic writers such as Sam Adams and Thomas Paine were metioned and how their ratical movements through writing that touched upon taxing and other negative subjects from their time. Also the Boston Massacre was explained in some detail to farther explain the era that the chapter was about.
A well known picture of the Boston Massacre. This is used in text books and exams today.
