Artifact III
Our Final Project was to select a specific topic in U.S. History to present to the class. My group chose the "Red Summer" because we found it to be interesting and especially relevant today. In the last few years racial tensions have been highlighted by sensational news stories, and movements such as national outrage over the shooting of Trayvon Martin, the protests in Ferguson, racism and discrimination at big Universities, and demonstrations by Black Lives Matter. As a group we researched academic publications, primary sources such as newspapers and pictures sourced from the library of congress and more.
