Sit Ins

The student chose to research the topic of sit-ins and freedom rides for their National History Day project because it related well to the theme and had many primary sources available. In researching the topic, the student searched Google for secondary sources, visited their school and main libraries to find books and primary documents on the sit-ins and freedom rides. The student created a website to develop their ideas further for the project, as it allowed more words than an exhibit board.

Sit-ins and Freedom Rides: Reformers in Action

Teyona Wilkerson Junior Division Individual Website

I wanted to pick a topic that would clearly relate to the National History Day theme and contain a strong relationship to. I also looked for a topic that would have primary documents easily available. My teacher asked us to do research on the possible different topics on the Nhd website list before choosing one. I decided the Sit-ins and Freedom rides because it was the most interesting of the topics I considered. Once I had chosen my topic, I began gathering resources. I started looking on Google looking for secondary sources. Next, I went to the Library at school to look through the different books dealing with the Sit-ins. which supplied detail to the Sit-ins and Freedom Rides: Reformers in Action. I spent several weekends at the Main library looking through the many primary sources (letters, speeches, and Congressional documents) that I found in Historical papers. I also searched for photographs and posters at Main library and online in the Library. My teacher suggested looking for research over the Winter break to get further in our project I chose to create a web site because it enabled me to use more words than an exhibit board, which allowed me to develop my ideas further.
