This WebQuest challenges you to investigate the American Dream ...look through the eyes of those who lived before us ...use the American Memory collections, The Library of Congress, to visit America's past ...learn research skills and experience the richness of the library collections ...defend your ideas, create products that show your understanding of others' dreams ...then share your dream for America's future.

The past is intelligible to us only in the light of the present; and we can fully understand the present only in the light of the past.
...Edward Hallet Carr, Historian
