In addition to the twenty-six core stories, short sidebars expand the discussion, and dictionary-style lists refer readers to additional key moments. So while F is for Federal Theater Project, a New Deal-era program that employed thousands of artists, F is also for Freedom Rides and First Amendment. E is for Earth First , but also for Endangered Species Act and Equal Rights Amendment. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThere are tales of triumph, resilience, creation, and hope. Each engaging, fact-filled narrative illustrates an eye-opening moment that shows us how we got to now--and what we need to know about our histories to create a just and sustainable future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdvance praise for \u003ci\u003eRad American History A-Z\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"I wish I'd had \u003ci\u003eRad American History A-Z\u003c\/i\u003e when I was growing up; it's a book I hope to read to my children one day.
