"Making History Go" at a Local Community Center: Popular Media and the Construction of Historical Knowledge among African American Youth.
Dimitriadis, Greg
Theory and Research in Social Education, v28 n1 p40-64 Win 2000
Looks at how young people use historical knowledge, gained from media sources, to deal with current situations. A group of young African Americans draw on behavioral examples from the film, "Panther," instead of school-based learning, to give them ways to deal with the Ku Klux Klan in their neighborhood. (DAJ)
