Prior to beginning work on this Discussion forum,
1.
In order to start thinking about history, think of a film, video, image,
song, or piece of music that reminds you of an era or event in the
past.
Consider the film, video, image, song or piece of music
that you selected.
Explain why you chose this piece.
Explain what it tells us about the historical event or era it
depicts.
Think about what you want your classmates to know about
you as a person and your academic, professional, and
personal goals.
2.
Next, start thinking about your work for this course, which will focus
on American history from 1877 to the present. One of the primary
areas of focus in the course will be the examination of political and
civil rights of traditionally disadvantaged groups within American
Society and their struggles for social equity within American society.
To this end, you will select one of the following disadvantaged
groups and examine their experiences throughout the course,
culminating in your Final Paper. (Your group choice does not have to
relate to your chosen historical piece above.)
African Americans
Native Americans/American Indians
Women
Immigrants
Consider which group you have chosen to focus on. Why have you chosen
this group? If you are having trouble deciding, which groups are you most
interested in and why?
Hello everyone! My name is -------, I am 32 years old,
married to my beautiful wife of 6
years with two daughters, ages 10 and 11. I am currently in the Army, stationed in the
lovely San Diego, California. I have been in the Army a little over 14 years, so I might as
well stick it out until 20 years. My personal goal is to complete my bachelor’s degree in
Early Childhood Education, took a break from school due to the demands of my career
at the time so it feels great to be back in college. I also want to pursue my Master’s
degree after completing my Bachelor. My academic goal is to complete my classes with
at least an A and maintain a GPA of 3.5 or above. My professional goals are to either
retire as Sergeant Major or become an Warrant Officer and retire as a CW3 or CW4. After
retirement I plan to become a teacher, and give all of my attention to my family.
The film that I chose is “Selma”. I chose this film because it was during the Jim Crow
era. There was a series of three Selma Marches that took place in 1965 from Selma to
Montgomery, Alabama. The Marches were to protest the blocking of Black Americans
right to vote by the systematic racist of the Jim Crow South.
The group that I have chosen to examine throughout this course is African Americans.
The main reason I chose to examine this group is because I am too African American.
The history of systematic discrimination and oppression that my ancestors faced should
never be forgotten. I want to learn more about the history of African Americans after
1877.
I’m looking forward to a great course and learning new things from everyone.
