Here is an image of one of the most memorable statues I saw at the lynching memorial. I found this particularly haunting because you can see the pain and horror and each of their faces.

Semester ll Final!

Semester ll Final! Part A: Before doing any research, I predict the three most highly ranked presidents in US History will be John F Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln, and Thomas Jefferson, while the worst might be Jimmy Carter, Andrew Johnson, and John Quincy Adams. After reviewing the Presidential Overall Rankings, I have found that the top four presidents have continuously been Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Franklin D Roosevelt, and Theodore Roosevelt. Despite these presidents being supposedly the top four to ever control the United States of America, there has been debate on the two presidents, Dwight D Eisenhower and Harry S Truman for the 5th place presidential rating. This rating has gone back and fourth for these two presidents from years 2000-2017. After further reviewing this data, I have noticed other interesting observations such as how the last three presidents on the list, other known as Franklin Pierce, Andrew Johnson, and James Buchanan have continuously been on th...

Remembering Freedom Riders

Remembering Freedom Riders For the past few weeks in US History, our class has been discussing the topic of civil rights. This has been by far my favorite unit that we have learned this year due to the interactive activities we have done in order to complete more in-depth learning. In particular, I really enjoyed traveling to Montgomery, Alabama to further educate our class on civil rights. I found this field trip extremely eye opening and memorable due to the horrific stories and fact filled museums that we visited. Although I found every exhibit and tour fascinating, the most memorable aspect of the trip was learning about the freedom riders campaign. This story not only shocked me, but it really made myself reflect on our states history considering this event started in 1960, which was only 59 years ago! This made an impact on myself as a student leading me to want to try and make a difference. This is the reason why I chose to design my own memorial in order to honor everyone wh...

3: Immigration Health Concerns

Immigration Health Concerns Different immigrants have different health concerns depending on their ethnicity. I found this topic extremely interesting due to my first assumption that typically, all immigrants would have the same or similar health concerns. Through research, I discovered how my original assumption was far from correct, which lead me to seriously rethinking my topic of health concerns. Before starting my initial research, I planned on primarily focusing on the immigration health process during the 1900's, and how that has developed compared to our time period. To my surprise, I found that the process has not changed that significantly. Similar to the 1900's, there continues to be a rigorous health inspection that assures you of not having any life threatening illness or habits, along with checking if you have received all of your vaccinations. Due to the topic not being as exciting as I planned because of the unexpected similarities between the time periods, I...
