The Legacy of the African-American Spiritual

Sound Learning Feature for May 2004

This month we revisit some special Marketplace reports on money and politics. Articles in this feature examine the evolution of political marketing and image-making; the role of money in elections, how donors became so essential, and how they deal with critics; and the challenging job of fundraisers.

The articles in this month's feature are of particular interest to teachers and students of American history, political science, and civics.
