Numerous titles are associated with the novel and the play Uncle Tom's Cabin. Civil War period music includes songs about African-American soldiers and the plight of the newly emancipated slave.

Twentieth century titles feature many photographs of African-American musical performers, often in costume. Unlike many other sorts of published works, sheet music can be produced rapidly in response to an event or public interest, and thus is a source of relatively unmediated and unrevised perspectives on quickly changing events and public attitudes. Particularly significant in this collection are the visual depictions of African Americans which provide much information about racial attitudes over the course of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries."

America in the 1930s
http://xroads.virginia.edu/~1930s/home_1.html: "The 1930s in America were a time of unparalleled contradiction and complexity. Encapsulated loosely on one end by Black Tuesday of the Great Depression and on the other end by the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the years between 1929 and 1941 were characterized by what Terry Cooney calls 'Balancing Acts,' a dance between big government and various regional movements, with the depths of the Depression and the height of the Modern Age thrown in for good measure. Despite its cultural richness, the 1930s remain nearly invisible in contemporary discussions of America's artistic, cultural, political, economic, and social development. This site is an attempt to shed light on that decade and emphasize its importance in American thought and culture. We have elected to view the 1930s through the lenses of its films, radio programs, literature, journalism, museums, exhibitions, architecture, art, and other forms of cultural expression."

Who of you has wondered what mysterious sounds flow through doctors' stethoscopes while you follow their instructions about how to breathe. If you're curious, but no doctor's about with a handy-dandy stethoscope, you can still get answers. Go to "Auscultation Assistant", instead. The site offers medical students and doctors exercises in the fine art of auscultation. Here, though, you too can listen to a wide range of physiologic and pathologic heart murmurs and breathing sounds; every "specimen" comes with a brief explanation about its source and why it sounds that way. It's more or less as if you were visiting a real patient, but with a little difference; patients lack hypertext links to the right diagnoses. "
