By Phil Nast, retired middle school teacher and freelance writer Found In: social studies, 3-5, 6-8 Barbed Wire Baseball by Marissa Moss and Yuko Shimizu is a story about one mans love of baseball and the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II.
Kenichi Zenimura (1900-1968) had been playing ball most of his life when Pearl Harbor was bombed in 1941. He founded the Fresno Athletic Club, won the Japanese American state championship three years in a row, and played in an exhibition game with Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. When he and his family were sent to the Gila River War Relocation Center in Arizona, he was determined to continue to play baseball. Energetic prose and dynamic illustrations that combine brush and ink with computer coloring make Barbed Wire Baseball a good introduction to Internment during WWII for K-8 social studies.
Students will learn more in this entry for Kenichi Zenimura at the Nisei Baseball Research Project. Related Lesson Related Primary Source Documents. The American Journey - rynjcomplab.

Most of the “brethren” think that education should equip them with the proper instruments of exploitation so that they can forever trample over the masses. Here’s an excerpt of a speech King delivered on March 14, 1964, when he accepted the John Dewey Award from the United Federation of Teachers:
Malcolm X – By Any Means Necessary. Salaam Alaikum, Mr. Moderator, our distinguished guests, brothers and sisters, our friends and our enemies, everybody who's here As many of you know, last March when it was announced that I was no longer in the Black Muslim movement, it was pointed out that it was my intention to work among the 22 million non-Muslim Afro-Americans and to try and form some type of organization, or create a situation where the young people – our young people, the students and others – could study the problems of our people for a period of time and then come up with a new analysis and give us some new ideas and some new suggestions as to how to approach a problem that too many other people have been playing around with for too long.
And that we would have some kind of meeting and determine at a later date whether to form a black nationalist party or a black nationalist army One of the first things that the independent African nations did was to form an organization called the Organization of African Unity.
