On the 14th of April, 1912, Titanic struck an iceberg on her maiden voyage and quickly sank. Many people were lost due to insufficient lifeboats. On the same day, decades earlier, President Lincoln was assassinated while watching a play at Ford's Theater. Marie and Pierre Curie first isolated radioactive radium in their Paris lab on the 20th of April, 1912. Four years later, on the 24th of April, Ernest Shackleton realized his ship - the Endurance - was so badly stuck in ice that he had to take other measures to protect his crew. A new mini-series about World War II - "The Pacific" - features three lead characters and various battle scenes. The National Archives, Library of Congress and Department of Defense have historical footage and other resources about the actual people and the battles they fought. Videos for these topics, and many other April commemorations, are provided together with primary sources. http://www.awesomestories.com/newsletters/videos-and-april-2010-highlights Group access to the site is free for all schools, libraries and educators.
