Do you have any elementary education curriculum materials that we can use? We have enjoyed your web site. This is some of the best work I've seen on the net for education. Felix Avila-Fleming |

Date: Tue, 13 Jan 1998 12:57:47 -0500 Subject: Matthew Henson website info To: Bradley@matthewhenson.com From: Trish. Hello, Bradley. First of all, let me start by saying that I have thoroughly enjoyed the Matthew Henson website. I first came into contact with the Peary/Henson expedition in great detail as my colleagues and I received the script to the upcoming TNT original, Glory and Honor. Before I get ahead of myself, let me back up and tell you a bit about what we do here. I work in the educational division of Turner Broadcasting, Turner Learning. Turner Learning is responsible for the educational program, CNN NEWSROOM, and for educational outreach for the Turner networks (TNT, TBS, TCM, Cartoon Network, CNN). As support for the networks, my group produces and assists in the development and marketing of curriculum materials culled from network programming. For example, TNT has asked us to do a curriculum guide for Glory and Honor. (I should point out that this is a value-added service that the network provides to educators, and, as such, we make NO profit from this. Teachers receive information/materials absolutely FREE.)I was initially assigned to do research for the project. This, in a nutshell, is how I came upon your website. The changes to the site, by the way, over the past few months have been absolutely phenomenal. I have several questions for you as a result of my discovery of your website: 1. Given your in-depth knowledge of Matthew Henson, could you explain to me why, if he was in it simply for the knowledge, he felt it necessary to write a book (A Black Explorer at the North Pole)? What did he feel he would gain? If this is not the case, what else was he in it for? This occurred not too long after the Emancipation of slaves; can this opportunity he was given be in some way linked to freedom? 2. We loved your map illustrating the 1909 expedition. The map shows the latitude and nautical miles from land to the North Pole. As we are preparing the guide and accompanying website, would it be at all possible to use this map? I know from previous readings on your website that most of your information is not copywritten; I only hope that this is not. What a fabulous map! Our graphic artist would transfer this to the guide. If it is possible to use this (again, we are not in ANY way gaining monetarily from this), I would love to find out if you have it in larger form. Anything like this would be most helpful. Also, if we could provide a link from our website to yours, would that be possible? I sincerely appreciate your time, and I'm sorry this is so long. My enthusiasm has Gotten the better of my desire for brevity. Thank you, again, for providing such a valuable service to the public. Sincerely, Trish |
