http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aia/part4/4p2932.html This site is about Dred Scott and why he wanted to fight for his freedom and also, how the Dred Scott Case ended. I chose this site because it tells everyone how the Dred Scott Case started and turned out. It is very detailed about the Case, and I think everyone would enjoy reading it.

Podcast

150 Years Later, Dred Scott Remembered http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=14855781 This podcast explains more to y'all about the Dred Scott Case but from Scott's great great grand-daughter. I chose this podcast because we're hearing Scott's story from a descendant of his. What's better than hearing Scott's relative talk about Scott's case? I used Google also to find this podcast.

My name is Alexes Cardenas, and I am going to be blogging about the Dred Scott Case. I chose to blog about this because I find it very interesting that Dred Scott was denied his freedom because of his color. We still have a problem with racialism to this day. I am going to continue this discussion with you all, so I hope for everyone to stay updated!
