What This Project is About:

This project exposes us to key concepts in the world that we might not know about. Yes, we know about the civil rights movement but do we know everything about it? We know it was about colored people and mainly focused on blacks. It was so much more than that.  It involved Native Americans, Asian American, etc. That was a big part to what I learned in this project. This project goes into how many people life and how we should always respect one another. The videos and articles that went into this project also helped me realize that not everyone's the same. Just because we aren't the same doesn't mean we have the right to make one feel less or more then what they are. I learned that everyone is equal and deserves respect.
