Two valuable resources are now available on the Pepper Foundation web site. The first is a Study Guide created to give students of all ages an introduction to Claude Pepper. This guide includes biographical material on Senator Pepper, a political primer, a summary of Pepper's political and social legacy, and discussion questions for further education. The second resource available is a lesson plan entitled Senate Champion of the Allied Cause: Florida's Claude Pepper as Depicted in Political Cartoons, 1940-1941. The lesson plan, which was created by Tallahassee educator, Peter A. Cowdrey, Jr., addresses Senator Pepper's role as this country's leading senatorial advocate for the Allied cause during 1940 and 1941, before the U. S. entry into World War II. It focuses on several representative political cartoons published in U. S. newspapers during those years. It was designed for high school U. S. and world history classes, but can be modified for use in other settings.
