The materials in the book and the box encourage students and teachers to consider how movement and restrictions on movement have mattered in American history. It asks us to think about how movement and migration�by choice or by coercion�are motivated and to ponder how personal, national and international forces can shape, limit, or compel the choices of millions of individuals. Materials include a book and CD of chronologically organized documents and transcripts introduced by historian Donna Gabaccia; posters and placards of important people and events with questions for discussion; a DVD with Historian discussion and other publications.
