Today we will look at a video interview of Dr. Nell Painter from Bill Moyers' Journal. Moyers is a journalist who has worked for PBS for decades. His interview that we'll watch today with Dr. Painter gives us a closer look at Populism then and now. Take out your handout from last week (What is Populism.pages) and be ready to record what we see/hear on our handout.
 * What We Did In Class**

Discuss the video. Consider what to write for a response to question #5.

It was suggested by a student Thursday that the election of 1896 - a presidential election - led to the demise of the Populist Party and movement. Let's read The Election of 1896 from Digital History and see if we can further relate this event to the end of the Populists.

View the video podcast on "Labor's Response to Industrial Growth". Take notes in order to prepare for tomorrow.
