Social Studies: U.S. History
A Walk Through the 20th Century with Bill MoYers
Countless observers have tried to make sense of the last century. Only a few historians and journalists have succeeded in developing a full-fledged portrayal of the
period, and no one has woven a tapestry of greater depth and richness than Bill Moyers. Brimming with archival footage and derived from exacting research, this classic series represents both a shrewd analysis of major events and a poetic chronicle of the century’s human currents.
