Today, we explored China’s transition of power from Mao to Deng. I’ve been interested about the influence of photography on social movements, and this video shows how Mao swimming in the Yangtze River contributed to the Cultural Revolution. @Waxler81

@RSeidel_NBCT@chicagotribune@NatlParkService Over the summer, I went to the USCIS Building at Ida B Wells Drive to take the Oath of Citizenship. Walking down the streets definitely reminded me of learning her in class.
@AnnieConners4 started a petition to the President of the United States to have the United States rejoing the Paris Agreement. Support, Sign, and Share the Petition! https://t.co/Ked0puilRO via @Change
One of the most embarrassing moments in American history was when President George H.W. Bush vomited on the prime minister of Japan in 1992. This helped Bill Clinton to further distance himself from Bush when up for reelection. https://t.co/HCnJ0y1py1 @HISTORY#APUSH220
Although Reagan represented conservatism in the 1980s, one major policy he appealed for was the national wide drinking age to be set at 21. The method he used was to withhold highway funds from states that refuse to adapt. @nytimes https://t.co/bsLK1xdlGV #APUSH220
The DNC was heavily burdened in debt and was nearly evicted from the Watergate Office Building. If the Democrats were evicted as requested, the break-ins by burglars would’ve occurred elsewhere, changing the name of the scandal. @politico#APUSH220 https://t.co/FQDnC2NKGZ
Ronald Reagan spoke out in opposition to Medicare, federal health-insurance program for senior citizens. Despite that, the bill passed under LBJ’s Great Society program. However, it led Reagan to pursue politics from acting previously. #APUSH220@NewYorker https://t.co/scqEPJq6Zk
One of the most iconic symbols of the 60s counterculture was the VW Microbus, which became popular with the rejection of mainstream culture, especially since the boxy design was unlike others from competing American companies. #APUSH220@SmithsonianMag https://t.co/7rJBIPBpgM
Florida’s “Johns Committee” first went after civil rights groups to find communist ties during the era of Second Red Scare and failed. Then the committee stalked, intimidated, and outed hundreds of the LGBTQ community, especially in schools. https://t.co/AQnN2DHy2K #APUSH220
Last summer, I was able to try a restaurant version in Busan, the same city that was never ever invaded by the North Koreans during the war. Here’s a recipe if you want to try: https://t.co/bdtniYwy2T also, ignore the dirty napkin in the photo.
One of my favorite foods is a dish called 부대찌개 (Army Stew). The history comes from right after the Korean War, when American processed foods from nearby U.S. bases were smuggled to starving Koreans. #APUSH220
The Berlin Wall split Berlin into West and East sides, which correlated to divide of the rest of Germany. Many sought to escape to the West side. In 1963, Klaus-Günter Jacobi modified his tiny BMW Isetta to smuggle his friend to freedom. https://t.co/aVITwMiGZi @CNET#APUSH220
Americans have criticized Nazi Germany for the treatment of Jewish people during WWII. However, when M.S. St. Louis arrived at the coast of Miami carrying 937 Jewish refugees, the ship was sent back to Europe where they faced their fate. https://t.co/HUEbWUQngv #APUSH220@HISTORY
Fortune Cookies are embedded into Chinese-American culture, but date back to Japanese origin with tsujiura senbei (辻占煎餅) in Kyoto. During WWII, Japanese Americans were sent to internment camps, and Chinese took over to fill in production. #APUSH220 https://t.co/0L1yjUqpot
