DH was just reading James Loewen's book on American history, Lies My Teacher Told Me, and found these lines:
"Disney World presents an exhibit called "American Adventure," a twenty-nine-minute history of the United States. The exhibit completely leaves out the Vietnam War, the ghetto riots of the 1960's and 1990's, and anything else troubling about the recent past." (p. 247)
I can see the Imagineers not wanting to include the ghetto riots (no-brainer there) but I could swear I saw as part of the photo montage a shot of 60s kids with peace signs and/or anti-war signs? Anyone remember it?
I looked up the description of the attraction on the Allears site http://allearsnet.com/tp/ep/e_adv.htm and it says that Bob Dylan is included in the photo montage at the end of the show--maybe that's what I was thinking of?
On a funny note, DS7 told me a few days ago that Albert Einstein didn't agree with Susan B. ANthony. After trying to figure out what he meant it turned out that he thought that Mark Twain in American Adventure was Einstein!
