Marc+Fromm+Final+Project+Sources

Source # 1: http://www.hsp.org/files/irishdeclaration.jpg - This cartoon portrays a stereotypical image of an Irish American woman. I'm still trying to decide the specifics of my final project. Political party development in PA over the years, or immigration to PA in the 1800's. Either way, I feel this is a relevant political cartoon.

Source # 2: http://www.hsp.org/files/unclesamslodginghousecover2.jpg - Similar concept as above, albeit different representation. Immigration to PA and harmful stereotypes that existed

Source # 3:

This primary source is an outline of the Southwark Riots in Philadelphia and it provides a report on Diversity and Ethnic violence in the region at the time. In further thinking/tweeking my idea for my final project - I think this could provide a focus on how different racial/ethnic groups got along at the time.

Source # 4: http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/r?ammem/aap:@field%28NUMBER+@band%28lcrbmrp+t2609%29%29 This is a speech given by congressman edward morrel of PA discussing the argument that African Americans should be deprived of citizenship

Source # 5: http://www.milestonedocuments.com/document_detail.php?id=127 This document represents the "PA Act for the gradual abolition of slavery", documenting how PA was the first legislature in history to take steps to abolish slavery. Amongst four other sources that have negative undertones in discussing the topic of immigration and diversity in PA, this seems to provide a more positive take on the issue.

http://www.negrospirituals.com/mp3/i_m_troubled.mp3 - This negro spiritual could be used in my project. It represents the prevailing attitudes of african americans of this time period

http://www.k-state.edu/english/nelp/american.studies.s98/we.shall.overcome.html - Here are the lyrics to a classic song (mid-20th century) which I think can be applied to any situation in which one particular group is oppressed by another.

This song is unifying and optimistic while some of the other songs I have come across (I am troubled) are not nearly as positive.

http://www.lyricsmania.com/oh_freedom_lyrics_joan_baez.html - The song "Oh Freedom" has deep roots in African American culture and it was sung by slaves as they dreamed of a day in which they would be free.

http://www.hymnlyrics.org/lyricsi/i_shall_not_be_moved.html - This song probably dates back to before slavery, but it has since been modified over the years to fit a few different social movements. I think it would be interesting to apply this song to ethnic relations in PA. Here are some additional lyrics that have since been added on over the years...//** The union is behind us We're fighting for our freedom We're fighting for our children We're building a mighty union Black and white together Young and old together When my burden's heavy The church of God is marching Don't let the world deceive you If my friends forsake me//
