From ComicsDC comes this offer to teachers everywhere:
from a posting on the Museum-L listserve
Herblock’s
Political Cartoon Panel Exhibitions
Available for use in
classrooms, museums, libraries, and organizations.
The Herb Block
Foundation presents four panel exhibitions displaying reproductions of
the work of legendary Washington Post editorial cartoonist Herbert
Block, famously known as “Herblock.”
The goal of these
exhibitions is to promote Herblock’s efforts to defend the rights and
freedoms of Americans through his political cartoons. Prepared by
Curator Harry L. Katz, these exhibitions can be used for teaching or
promoting the American topics that reflect Herblock’s passions-
Education, Democracy, Civil Rights and the Presidency. Together all
four present a fascinating history of Herblock’s 72 year career.
No
rental fee is required- only the shipping fees via Fedex or UPS are
charged. The panels come in cases that are easy to move, set up and
store.
A seven minute DVD, Herblock: The Man Behind the
Cartoons and illustrated brochures come with the exhibitions.
