Wow! - [08 Apr 2009]
I just previewed this short film and was really taken back at how fascinating the story is behind the Spanish Influenza. I was never taught about it in school or college and I'm a history major, it truly is a forgotten and often overlooked topic. This...

Influenza epidemic / tragedy - [28 Feb 2008]

a forgotten tragedy - [14 Jun 2006]
I did relatively well in high school American history and yet I never heard of this national crisis. I guess World War I wasn't the only big deal of the 1910s. I am glad to see that the American Experience series not only covers great names, wars, and...
