Prentice Townsend, Katie Presidents Libraries Library Role Institutional Mission Political Issues Criticism Multicultural Education Bias Investigations Context Effect Perspective Taking Persuasive Discourse Time Perspective The primary focus of research that the authors have undertaken at New Mexico State University for the past several years can be summed up with the question--are Presidential Libraries educational institutions or are they simply political monuments and messages? The authors have conducted extensive investigations involving visitations to ten Presidential Libraries, telephone inquiries, email correspondences, searches of the presidential websites, and most recently a critical analysis of the Presidential series on C-SPAN and the published Presidential Timelines. In all of this, they set out to gather some answers to the following questions: What if anything are the Presidential Libraries doing for education? Is the information being disseminated through the Libraries appropriately multicultural in its perspective, or is it more narrow and biased? What can be done to enhance the educational programs of Presidential Libraries so that they are "more accountable to the diverse public" and "a fair equitable message about the Presidents of the United States" is sent out to students young and old? In this article, the authors describe the results of their investigations. |
