RE: Have You Tried Turning it Off and Back On?: Suggestions for the Philadelphia History Museum
Gif game is strong, Derek! I'm also curious about the current PHM's leadership. It'd be interesting to know their history with the organization and professional background. Like we read last week about

RE: Another Five Project Ideas. Which One Should Be Awarded 3,000 STEEM?
I too think the oral history proposal would be a great project. As @hourofhistory stated, the oral histories lead to additional opportunities...perhaps a walking tour? I think we would want to grant the

These are all great proposals that address major needs in Philly's cultural sector! I think the proposal that best reflects the objectives of this course includes training creatives how to leverage blockchain

RE: Gaps in the Philadelphia history system
[The Public History truck] also doesn't include a brick-and-mortar location, which makes it hard for it to build a sense of belonging in the neighborhood and city. Agreed! Similar idea to Andrea Burns'

Yes, the gap in activity also concerned me. I probably should have explored that before making this proposal. But regardless, I think the new stadium deservers our attention, and the history truck is not

Good point regarding the ethics of students essentially working to support their schools. Perhaps a separate institution, like the National History Day Philly, could encourage students to write about their

And to point out the obvious, just the name "Philadelphia" stems from the Greek term phileo which means love.

Agreed! Like you said, the drawings depict not only the scene but also the broader feeling. I think we tend to take photographs at face value. They are usually used to complement a larger assertion or

I'd like to say "general activity." Make it broad enough for the organization to experiment, but also make sure they're trying new models for engagement.

RE: Love Thy Neighbor: American Nativism against German Americans in 1918
Last semester when we were aboard the Olympia, I asked Kevin about this helmet. Apparently, the USMC used these helmets during the late 19th century to show their admiration for Prussian militarism. Obviously,

RE: “Making America Safe for Democracy” on the Home Front
It's curious to note that despite a united home front and booming war economy, the Republicans won the White House in the 1920 election. Of course other factors came into play (especially Wilson's health),
