Why i Chose This?
I chose the Civil Rights movement because it helped me learn and understand more about what was going on and about what was happening during that time period. I also chose this because there was so much that was happening and going on i wanted to learn more about it and do some research on it. Also i chose this because somewhere in this world there is things going on that is kinda like what was going on during the civil rights movement.
