Thanks for the generous reading of my new book. You remarked on what I tried hardest to do, which is to make it readable and accessible without sacrificing analytical rigor.
Best wishes for the new year.

Hi,
Great blog!
I wanted to let you know about an innovative concept for teaching U.S. history to today’s student s. Hip-Hop U.S. History puts the stories, facts, dates and drama of American history into rap music. You can find free songs here, including Let Freedom Ring which features the voice of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I have a dream” speech.
We’re hoping to reach all student s, but especially those who love hip-hop but whose eyes glaze over while reading standard academic text. We’re trying to bring history to life. As historian / professor Howard Zinn notes, “I see this as an extroardinary teaching tool for today’s youth.”
If you wanted to let the readers of your blog know about what we’re doing, I would certainly appreciate it.
Keep up the great work!!
Thanks,
Justin Marchetti
