Thanks for the Goodbye To All That photo story – real people, sensitively and beautifully 
shot. I could almost smell the fish and feel the coal dust between my teeth.

“The Commemoration and Memorialization of the American Revolution” 
Benjamin Herman and Jean Lee (Mentor), History 
This project involves discovering how the American Revolution was remembered during the nineteenth century. The 
goal is to show that the American Revolution was memorialized by the actions of the United States government during 
the 1800s. This has been done by examining events such as the Supreme Court cases of John Marshall and the 
Nullification Crisis. Upon examination of these events, it becomes clear that John Marshall and John Calhoun (creator 
of the Doctrine of Nullification) attempted to use the American Revolution to bolster their claims by citing speeches from 
Founding Fathers. Through showing that the American Revolution lives on in memory, this research highlights the 
importance of the revolution in shaping the actions of the United States government. 
Keywords: American Revolution, memory, United States government. 
Libya Crisis 
Britain is to send a team of military officers to Libya to help advise the rebels 
fighting Col Muammar Gaddafi. 
The BBC understands about 10 UK officers and a similar number from France 
will provide logistics and intelligence training in Benghazi. 
UK Foreign Secretary William Hague said the move was in accordance with the 
resolution on Libya, which forbids foreign occupation forces. 
The Libyan foreign minister said it would only prolong hostilities. 
Abdul Ati al-Obeidi told the BBC the sending of UK military personnel to Libya 
would harm any peace initiative and "prolong the confrontation".
