Title: U.S. Civil Rights Era
Post by: Ryan on April 15, 2009, 02:39:36 am: Quote
Pretend that you are preparing a television documentary about the Civil Rights movement during the 1950s and 1960s. What three events would you make sure to include? Which people would you want to be sure to interview (assuming they were still alive) or discuss? Explain your choices.

this is the discussion board topic for my history class. i thought it was an interesting question to post here!

Post by: Frisky SKeleton on April 15, 2009, 10:22:31 pm: yeah let's just ignore the proliferation of smoking at the same time and the effects of the second world war on industry. maybe after america freed the jews they discovered human life was inherently valuable.

except there's s till a strong discourse of freedom (of the market) worth fighting for
