- Looking. Searching. Wandering. Asking. Doubting. I've got no problem with the hunt or the quest. But I'm leary of what appear to be "definitive answers". There's always another side, another angle, another interest, another day. I wonder if all that makes me a bad teacher...

Now I have been searching for websites for a while now. Out of all of them I found this one. This is not only a good source for entertainment in the 1930’s, but also for any other subject during the time. In the entertainment it separates it into sections for each form of entertainment. It has Radio, Movies, Jazz, Dancing, Dating, and Family Fun. Not only that but Claudia Reinhardt and Bill Ganzel look professional, having 4 web projects and 1 book published in 1984 called “Dust Bowl Descent”.

A consumer product of the 1930s was the nylon-bristle tooth brush(1938). Before 1938,toothbrushes had hog-hair bristles. They did a fairly good job of cleaning the teeth, but, they also retained moisture and accumalated bacteria. DUPONT developed nylon in 1934 and introduced the first nylon-bristle toothbrush in 1938: Dr. West's Miracle Tuft Toothbrush. The new nylon bristles were tough, resilent, and impervious to moisture.

Amelia Earhart attempted to become the first woman to fly around the world by aircraft. She disappeared in 1937 with her navigator Fred Noonan. Her Lockheed was last heard from about 100 miles from Howland Island in July 1937. Current president Roosevelt demanded an immediate search. No trace was ever found.

Multiple sites explained to me what the monumental Harlem Renaissance was, but this site I found the most creditable. On it's credits page, there was a list of many authors and people like Elvin Montgomery, Ph.D who knew much about this topic. I learned that The Harlem Renaissance started in Harlem, New York, and was called a renaissance because it took place from the 1920's all the way to the late 1930's. It was a chance for African Americans to share different forms of art like music, literature, and even drama. These series of events were so significant that it started to spread through out the rest of the United States.

Several sites may have given details or general ideas what the Harlem Renaissance was, but this was the best site out of those I looked at. It's an educational site (as evident by the .edu domain), not a commercial site or anything else that has a good chance of bias. http://www.jcu.edu/harlem/resources.htm
Shows the sources the site used. As you can see, the majority of the sources are from books about the event and even has a few people with PhD's. From the site you can learn of the entertainers of the Renaissance, the philosophies, nearly anything is at the touch of your fingers. The site's impressive credentials makes it a good first or last choice for any research regarding the Harlem Renaissance.

In multiple sites it stated that sports in the Great Depression wasn't economically stable and above all sport arenas weren't selling tickets therefore not making any profit. Athletes were making up to 30% less money than in previous years, obviously the Great Depression affected sports not only in america but all over the world. Both hockey and baseball had its cases of problems, in baseball there was the Black Sox scandal surely looked doomed until Babe Ruth saved it. Surely all hockey, baseball, football, basketball had started rising into the spotlight but the Great Depression had surely affected them and it hugely hurt them ergonomically. In the economic state in which the whole world was in, sports was the last thing that the people spent their money on, since it wasn't in such needs to watch sports game they had huge economic land slides. I learned that sports depends on the economies state of power and wealth.

This website gives me tons of information that I can understand. Its very descriptive about how it all happened, from the beginning to the end. The Scottsboro Trial is a case about black nine youths charged with the rape of two white women.If u think about this with To Kill A Mockingbird, its excatly like Tom Robinson's Trial. He's getting charged for raping the Ewell's girl nd the Scottsboro boys(the nine black youths) about the two white women. They're both about how rasim makes the black people gettin blamed for everything even though they didnt do anything... Sorry got out of topic. Anyway they were riding the train and got in a fight with these white men, who were pushed off(there was orinally 12 blacks on the train but they were pushed off with the white guys). The white men were angry and told the police that they raped the two white still on borad, and thats how it all began.

One in four workers lost their jobs during the Great Depression of the 1930's. The industrial slump had affected the foundation of western capitalism, most banks began to fail with an average of 600 per year. Thousands of business firms failed, and "industrial stocks lost 80% of there value." Approximatly 11,000 of the U.S. banks were known to have lost two billion in deposits as a result of the depression. Furthermore, the GNP had gone from a rate of 3.5% annually to an amazing decline of over 10% annually. These problems made it hard for both men and women to get jobs. The common jobs that most men worked were as manual laborers, shipping, railroad and agriculture. Jobs traditionally held by women were as nurses, teachers, and some were doctors. Unfortunately, these jobs became harder to get due to the depression, men began to take the jobs traditonally held by women as the depression went on and unemployment increased. Overall, the careers/jobs traditionally held by women and men before the Great Depression were greatly affected in the 1930's, and women and men worked whatever job that was available.

I searched many websites before coming across this, not so bad, one. It has various information on entertainmet in the '30s. People gatherd around their radios to listen to their favorite radioshows that ranged from adventure, to mystery, and just for laughs.
Orphan Annie was very popular with the kids.
Jazz and Swing music had people on their feet dancing the jitterbug. People also flocked to the circus, slideshows, and the theater.

A person can sit down and learn many great things about the Harlem Renaissance from many different credible websites, but i am certain that no website is better than this one. To begin, the home page gives you a brief introduction about the Harlem Renaissance, so if the reader is ignorant of the subject, they now get an understanding of what their in for. The website has seven links at the top of the page, each with a different subject that surrounds the Harlem Renaissance, including education during the renaissance, performers, french connection, literature, political issues, religion and philosophy. All of these links provides different information that helps understand the renaissance through many different aspects. Also, the site is in .edu form, so you know that the information being provided is secure and credible. There is a credits link at the bottom that provides all the sources of which this site was created. It tells the reader of the books and music and other websites where they got the information. Also, all the authors of the books and the professors, for the most part, have a PhD, so automatically that you can infer that they know what they're talking about.

E. On the website listed above you can find facts about the movie. It also tells you the the site is part of the Turner Sports and Entertainment Digital Network. The site is useful because they don't let random people make changes or even comment on there. If you think you see a mistake however you may email them and make suggestions. This makes the site much more reliable. If you need information of what the movie is about they also have a full synopsis available on the site.

This website is one that I came across first, but I continued to look. In the end it was the most effective for the topic I was searching. It is an organization site, which means that some organization is sponsoring it. The Nebraska Department of Education and the Nebraska State Historical Society are the sponsors of this website. Seeing as it has an educational foundation would show that it must have the facts, or at least the closest to what we can get to. Also, if a historical society is sponsoring it the information must be accurate and up to date. It having the sponsors, and coming from the sources that it does it is a dependable website to research the Stock Market Crash of the 1930’s.

In the 1930’s, the Great Depression, was a very hard time for the people that lived then. But being human the people still needed a source of entertainment. They found ways to entertain themselves inexpensively too. Movies became really popular including gangster and funny comedies. They also had musicals that helped them forget about their many worries. The radio became popular which held sermons for the people to here. There were many unemployed people of the 1930’s, which among were artists and performers who were helped by the government to have plays and artwork done.

In 1928, Amelia Earhart was the first women to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. In 1932, she was the first women to pilot her own plane across the Atlantic. There were not many career options available for women at that time; so her being a female pilot was unusual for that time period. In 1937, Amelia wanted to fly across the world. But during her trip, when she was leaving from New Guinea to a small island in the Pacific Ocean she vanished. Even though the U.S. Navy made many attempts to find her, neither her or her plane was ever found. To this day, noboby knows what happened to Amelia Earhart.

People of today are still entertaining themselves from what people used to watch in the 1930’s. The type of movies that were watched then have been redone and watched now. “Gone With the Wind” was a hit movie about how a woman survives a war without her husband. Frankenstein which was recorded in the 1930’s is still watch and loved by many people today. Tarzan and Snow White was a major hit then and has been redone for the children of today.

I really liked this website since it's very vivid. Not only is it eye catching but it is very useful.The website had everything from fashion and foods and the prices that they included. The one I was to look for was the careers in the 1930's. It listed numerous amount of careers and their salaries. The website also included the standard work periods and how long they worked.

While searching around the internet I found this page, which talks about the leagues and sports in the 1930's.
It mostly talks of the people playing the sports and their records rather than explaining the sports themselves.
The interesting part about this is that it gives you images along with the information which a better idea of what sports were like.

armstrong demonstrates frequency modulation (FM) to David Sarnoff wich improved the radio wich at the time most people did have and was about the most important way of communication at the time. The federal communications commisson (FCC) was established in 1934 and in 1954 the FCC battled producers and advertisers concerning standards and censorship in television. Telephone was another way communication during the 1930's like in 1935 the first around-the-world telephone conversation was made, altough not many people had telephones only the wealthy did. and as early as 1939 electronic televison was ready to be implemented into houses, Davids sarnoff's prelusion of televison at the 1939 New York World’s Fair spawned immediate interest with the introduction of television to the world at the fair.

After researching Amelia Earhart, and reading countless webpages, on this website i was able to understand more about her & her history. The 16th woman to receive an international pilots license & the 1st woman to pilot across the Atlantic Ocean, Amelia Earhart, became a pioneer.
After acheiving many goals Earhart decided to acheive another by piloting around the world, but after attempting to reach one of her many destinations , Amelia, her plane, and navigator Fred Noonan, vanished, to this day nothing amazingly credible, has been recoverd from this venture.
