The following selection, researched and written by me, is about the Red Scare of the 1920's.

Good work! I hope that the kids of today read this and learn what they owe to the men and women who suffered and sacrificed to obtain a decent life for themselves and today's kids.

 

With or without 'editing', it is the story that counts.

 

The D.C. Everest Area schools' project is an excellent project and will benefit future generations with its first hand history.

 

Don't worry about 'indents'; just skip a line.

 

Yay!, Wisconsin!
