American Treasures: A Matter of Conscience
"In 1935, ten-year-old Billy Gobitas wrote to his Pennsylvania school board explaining that he wouldn’t recite the Pledge of Allegiance because it violated the biblical commandment not to worship any "graven images." He and his sister were expelled from school for their beliefs. As you learn about the three ensuing court decisions, consider the similarities and differences with the recent Newdow case."

American Indians and the Natural World
"American Indians have an enduring heritage of connections with the natural universe. These connections are the focus of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History’s new Alcoa Foundation Hall of American Indians. Exploring tribes from four different locales, this online exhibit from the well-known Pittsburgh museum concludes: ""Though all of these peoples have chosen different pathways and strategies for making a life in their various environments, one similar concept is voiced by all -- that a reciprocal connection exists between people and the rest of the world."""

American Flag Page
"The Fourth of July was traditionally celebrated as America’s birthday, but the idea of an annual day specifically celebrating the Flag is believed to have first originated in 1885. BJ Cigrand, a schoolteacher, arranged for the pupils in the Fredonia, Wisconsin Public School, District 6, to observe June 14 (the 108th anniversary of the official adoption of The Stars and Stripes) as ’Flag Birthday’. Over the next sixty years, the celebration of Flag Day grew in popularity, but it was not until August 3rd, 1949, that President Truman signed an Act of Congress designating June 14th of each year as National Flag Day."
