The image below shows the picture from my power fist project in AP US History. I chose to represent the Black Power Movement, putting a collage of images and quotes from influential people and moments of the movement. I also had to write a description about the movement explaining its historical context and significance of it.
The Black Power movement started in the 1960s as a way for black Americans to fight racism and gain an identity during a time of racial tension. Leaders like Malcolm X spoke about self-defense and black pride, and Stokely Carmichael helped spread the term “Black Power” and pushed for many political topics. People in the movement marched, protested, and created programs to support black communities and create change.
The purpose of our presentation was to show why our country was the best place to visit in 2025. I represented El Salvador and researched different cities, cultural activities, food, accommodations, and more. I needed to be able to talk about how El Salvador has changed and is changing, which required the use of different tenses, and in order for my presentation to work I had to combine sentences into paragraphs. By doing this, I was able to show the best parts of El Salvador and make people want to travel there.
El propósito de nuestra presentación fue mostrar por qué nuestro país era el mejor lugar para visitar en 2025. Representé a El Salvador e investigué diferentes ciudades, actividades culturales, comida, alojamiento y más. Necesitaba poder hablar sobre cómo El Salvador ha cambiado y está cambiando, lo que requirió el uso de diferentes tiempos verbales y para que mi presentación funcionara tuve que combinar oraciones en párrafos. Al hacer esto, pude mostrar las mejores partes de El Salvador y hacer personas viajar allí.
