When determining what I wanted to base my applied learning project on, I knew that I wanted to do something that dealt with the Civil Rights era. My future plans after I graduate is to teach sixth thru 8th grade history and I felt using this subject since I do hold it near and dear to my heart, would be perfect. I knew I wanted my audience to be students and I wanted to present this project as an assignment that the students would be completing at the end of the year.

In fact, it has been said in interviews that he studied Martin Luther King’s cadence of his speeches so he could incorporate them as his own. Another example would be that the non-violence Sit-Ins based on Martin Luther King’s peace stance has been extremely important to churches all over the country, many churches have used his peace stance for their position for what it means to be a peace church.
In conclusion, a movement that began for primarily African American citizens will continue to affect everyone in the United States. It is these events and others that create the foundation for who the people are in the nation no matter what ethnicity. Becoming aware and knowing of these events we have learned the core values of diversity and the hope that peace will prevail. However, the Civil Rights was just the beginning for the present and the future generations are the ones who must carry on and continue the diligent work of those who have come before
