Using the Internet, locate and read Martin Luther King Jr’s “I Have a Dream” speech given in Washington D.C., August 1963.

Construct the case study by responding to the following prompts:

Explain if the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s effectively changed the nation.
What effect would the Civil Rights Acts have across the continent on minority groups?
Do you think that the tactics and strategies that civil rights activists used in the 1960s would apply to today’s racial and ethnic conflicts? Why or why not?
Do the ideas of the 1960s still have relevance today? If so how? If not, why not?
Analyze how the Civil Rights Movement would impact diversity in America today.

There were a lot of feminist protests in the 1960’s, but one that was very important was the Miss America Pageant of 1968. The Miss America protest was a demonstration held at the Miss America contest in Atlantic City. What exactly happened? When? Why did this happen? Where did this happen? Who was involved? What were the results? You can also talk about other feminist protests that happened in the 1960’s (specifically) as well, but definitely go more into detail about the Miss America Pageant.

Part I: One of the main problems with the politics is people’s ignorance about the political process and knowledge of elected officials. Ask your interviewees the following questions:
1. When is Election Day?
2. Who are your US Senators?
3. Name one US Representative from your state.
4. Who is the Governor of your state and what is his or her party affiliation?
5. Who is the mayor in your city, town or township?
6. As a whole, what color is your state (red=Republican, blue=Democrat)?
7. How many electoral votes does your state have?
Part II: Finally, political contests are determined by the candidates’ position on the issues. Answer the following questions for yourself: What do you believe are the three most important issues facing the United State currently? What are the general positions of the major political parties (Democrat and Republican) concerning the three issues you identified?
Part III: Write up your findings and connect your data to the textbook material.
