School Blues!
Description
An account of the resource
Buzzy has the answer to "School Blues!" <br /><br />Comic description: After being discouraged by a bad report card, Joe thinks about quitting high school and starting a job. Joe meets with his school counselor, at his parent's suggestion, and his counselor enrolls him in a new course. Joe tells Buzzy that he likes his new course so much that he has decided to stay in school. His grades in all his other subjects have also improved. Buzzy reminds the reader to carefully consider important life decisions. <br /><br />[Image description: A text panel on the comic book cover reads: "How would you like a Superboy souvenir in your home? A memento of some great adventure or deed performed by the BOY OF STEEL? You'd like it, of course, but no more so than eager customers in Smallville, flocking to purchase mementos of their famed boy citizen! Everybody is happy-- except Superboy himself-- when he learns there is a mystery behind the Superboy Souvenirs!". The image on the cover shows superboy using his super-strength to place a giant meteor onto a petastal. The petastal has a sign that says: "Super Souvenir Meteor which Superboy Caught Before it Smashed into a City!". Next to Superboy is a man in a suit saying: "Thanks for pouring the concrete base and bringing the meteor here, Superboy! Now just one more little detail... building a wooden shelter over it!". A thought bubble by Superboy says: "Hmm! As a souvenir, this meteor is more trouble than it was as a menace! All I had to do then was to CATCH it!".]<br /><br />Public service comic published as a part of the National Social Welfare Assembly Comics Project. The Comics Project lasted from August 1949 - July 1967 and produced over 200 pages promoting citizenship and social values. <br /><br />Publisher's Note: "Published as a public service in cooperation with the National Social Welfare Assembly, coordinating organization for national health, welfare and recreation agencies of the U.S."

Stop Polio Sunday [handbill]
Description
An account of the resource
<p>Promotional materials for "Stop Polio Sunday. Second Dose Jan. 19." A hand drops the vaccine onto a sugar cube.<br /><br />Text: "<span style="text-decoration:underline;">everyone</span> needs Sabin Vaccine. <br />For complete protection against polio, EVERYONE over two months old needs ALL THREE TYPES of Sabin oral vaccine. Sabin school clincis will be open JANUARY 19 from NOON TO 6 P.M. to offer you your second dose of Sabin oral vaccine. <br /><br />BE SURE AND ATTEND YOUR LOCAL SABIN CLINIC AND TAKE THE SECOND DOSE OF SABIN VACCINE. HELP TO BANISH POLIO FROM THE RICHMOND AREA FOREVER. <br />Check the other side for clinic nearest you."<br /><br />------<br /><br />The (near) elimination of polio is one of medicine’s great success stories. Jonas Salk (1914–1995) developed the first effective polio vaccine in 1953. Albert Sabin (1906–1993) developed an oral version of the vaccine in 1956. <br /><br />Polio cases dropped dramatically wherever the vaccines were used, and polio was eliminated in the U.S. by 1979. Through the efforts of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, formed in 1988, worldwide polio cases were down to 37 by 2016. <br /><br />Poliomyelitis vaccines were not without problems, though, especially initially. The Sabin version was more effective and easier to administer, but in very rare cases (1 in 2.9 million), it could produce a form of polio. It was abandoned in the U.S. by 2000. <br /><br />The Sabin vaccine required three doses, given six to eight weeks apart. In Richmond, Sunday vaccine drives were organized in the 1960s, leading to widespread city vaccination rates. <br /><br /></p>

Title
A name given to the resource
The Southern Frontier, vol. 1, no. 3 [Mississippi Issue]
Description
An account of the resource
Published by Commission on Interracial Cooperation (CIC), The Southern Frontier was a monthly newsletter, first issued in January, 1940. Aiming to share the stories overlooked by traditional newspapers, the newsletter published stories of social progress, as well as stories of racial injustices faced by African Americans across the American South. <br /><br />As described by the then President of the CIC Howard W. Odum, the name <em>The Southern Frontier</em> alludes to the need for even greater pioneering and progress in the social and cultural frontiers, the American South being the most turbulent field in reference to race relations and progress at the time.<br /><br />The “Mississippi Issue” contains contributions by:<br />J. Morgan Stevens<br />M. M. Hubert<br />A. J. Finch<br />R. L. Hunt<br />Theodore D. Bratton<br />P. H. Easom<br />Anselm Joseph Finch<br />Horace Mann Bond<br />R. B. Eleazer<br />Will W. Alexander<br /><br />Articles include:<br /><br />“The South’s Problem Number One” – An article discussing poverty and over-population in the South.<br /><br />“The Wm. Johnson Community Center, Jackson, Miss.” – An article discussing a church-owned clinic serving the African American communities of Jackson, Mississippi.<br /><br />"Jim Crow Legislation" - An article about the defeat of Jim Crow amendments to a Mississippi Free Text Book Bill. State Senator H. L. Davis of Oxford is quoted as saying, "Under the Constitution the Negro is a citizen and of course we know and accept that. But he can never expect to be given the same educational and social privileges with the white man and he doesn't expect them. The best education we can give him is to use his hands, because that's how he must earn his living. It always has and it always will be."<br /><br />"An Oscar for Hattie" - An article about Hattie McDaniel's Academy Award for her role as Mammy in "Gone With the Wind."
