America one year into the Obama Administration
Facing a number of challenging agenda targets and a difficult economy, the Obama administration finds itself between a decreasing Democratic majority and a unified Republican opposition. Meanwhile, the emerging TEA Party movement is catching headlines. Where do you fit into the mix, and how has the economy impacted your community and your household?

The Steeltown Digital Library provides access to primary sources reflecting the history of the Mahoning Valley, including many of the sources discussed in Steeltown USA: Work and Memory in Youngstown. The site also offers lesson plans for using local history in middle and high school courses.
During the 2006-2007 academic year, Sherry Linkon and Alyssa Lenhoff coordinated a project to create an exhibit and report on how work is changing in the Mahoning Valley. "Worker Portraits: Faces of Strength" involved Youngstown State University (YSU) journalism students in writing profiles of individual workers, and CWCS affiliate Rosemary D'Apolito conducted research on demographic patterns. In April 2007, the resulting exhibit opened at the Youngstown Historical Center, featuring a dozen profiles, with beautiful photographs by Steve Cagan, and an accompanying booklet. We hope to take the exhibit on tour around the Mahoning Valley over the next two years.
These sites provide a wide range of resources -- bibliographies, lists of writers and works, links to texts, and collections of images, sound files, and documents.
Featured authors include Raymond Carver, Langston Hughes, Toni Morrison, and John Steinbeck.
