Description |
Rectangular cardboard display board mounted with a page from a printed document entitled, "Cultural Encounters: Some Truths About The Melting Pot". This document was researched and developed by Loretta Webb, a Curriculum Specialist at the Program for Educational Opportunity, School of Education, University of Michigan. The document consists of a table that describes the different experiences of five different minority groups in the United States of America. The groups are described as Asian Americans, sub-divided into Chinese Americans and Japanese Americans, Black Americans, Mexican Americans (Chicanos), and Native Americans. The experiences detailed on this page are "Problems Encountered" and, "Adjustments." The front of the board is covered in clear plastic which is taped at the back. Handwritten in black ink on the back of the board is the text, "2." This display board was created and used by Carlton A. Funn Sr. as part of his exhibition, "The History and Culture of Minorities", later named "National / International Cultural Exhibits ("NICE"). |
