Why I chose this topic:
Last year, I researched John Brown’s revolt against slavery. Which was how John Brown, a white man, fought against the slavery of African Americans. This topic gave me a brief overview for this years topic. Which is the impact of Martin Luther King Jr. Martin Luther King had a huge impact on my life, especially as a young African American. Luther and his influence seem very interesting and had a lot of information which would help me learn my about the history of our country.
How I conducted my project:
First, I asked my librarian what would a interesting topic be. She then asked me what are you interested in and I stated that I wanted to do a topic on someone that had a huge impact on the world and she said what about Martin Luther King Jr. I quickly accepted the answer and I hopped on the computer. And began to look up books and I found two books that had many sources and useful information. I rapidly wrote down the sources. But, I knew that I needed more information. So I looked at a encyclopedia and got more information. But, that still wasn't enough information so then I asked my grandmother, who walked with Martin in the revolution. Then, once I had a enough information I then began planning my website.
How I created and developed my exhibit:
After the researching stage I categorized the key facts and information that would be essential to my outline. I narrowed down my primary and secondary sources on noodle tools. Then my information from events before, after, and events that occurred during Martin Luther's lifetime. Then I made a draft of a timeline, pictures and captions that I would put on my website. After that I typed up and of my material into categories.I went through many designs but I settled my decision on this design for my project.
How my project relates to the theme:
My topic relates to the topic in many ways. My project focuses on Martin Luther King’s impact, leadership, challenges, and what a great influence he was in our history. My topic relates to the topic turning points in history because Martin Luther King campaigned against segregation between blacks and whites peacefully. He led many protests including the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Which led to the Civil Right Movement. Without Martin Luther King where would be? still segregated. Mr.King has had a massive impact on our history and country.
