The letter was a resignation letter to the
society that I was surprised to see was from Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of
President Roosevelt, this I discovered when I Googled Mrs. Henry RobertJr. “Daughters of the American Revelation”, This is a credible organization that
was founded in 1890. The first web site I clicked on when I Googled the name,
http
this seemed to have all the info I could possibly want on DAR.
After
this short but interesting search, I felt this was sufficient. This didn’t
appear to be a Wikki that someone would change since it pertained to American
History. Did wind up reading a good amount of the Wikki page, Eleanor Roosevelt
was one interesting lady and did a huge amount of work against segregation, and changing the face of American history.
This
was a bit perplexing at first; just looking at a map with routes could pertain
to a multitude of things. I first Googled Newark NJ august 2nd and I
was directed to a YouTube page with a bunch of videos for bands relating to
Newark NJ, the bands for the most part sucked and this didn't work.
Next I broadened my search and
Googled, Nashville Tenn. To Montgomery AL., 9 arrested. This time I was taken
to a Wikki page, that was directed
towards, William E. Harbour, a major figure in the civil rights movement. There
were some other references at the bottom of the page so I cross referenced some
of the pages. The website "CORE" even contained part of the original map we were
given for the assignment and then I found a
site from PBS,one of Americas pioneers in public television and education, and also is a very credible source. Satisfied with this search, the
links appeared to me to add a huge amount of credibility to my search and
coincided with the Wikipedia page
I
first Googled J.F. Blake, 12-1-1955 and the first site to come up was a site from the Montgomery news paper,
which was a site for “The Story of the Montgomery Bus Boycott.” Just from this
article we learn that J.F. Blake was actually the bus driver that reported the
“Parks woman” would not move on the bus and reported her to the police. This
put into motion one of the greatest stories in the Civil Rights movement.
I
then Googled Rosa Parks, who is one of the most famous and influential black women in American history,
and found this was actually the incident that is world famous, and set in motion Rosa Parks role in the Civil rights Movement. I found both of these sights very
informative and have no reason to doubt their credibility. One of Americas
greatest history stories, undoubtedly moving and monumental.
I
started this search by simply Googling, House of Representatives February 10,
1964 since it was basically the title of the document. The first sight I
clicked on was for a site titled “Black Americans in Congress” though an informative site with a huge amount of information, not the info I
was searching for. I then clicked on the second site which was, “The Civil
Rights Act of 1964”. This was a “United States Senate Committee on theJudiciary” site, sponsored by the actual “United States Senate.” This site had
several links at the bottom of the page to verify the information that was
provided.
I
also found a Wikipedia page for“The Civil Rights Act of 1964” page that was also informative in verifying the info
on this date. This was a monumental day in American History when they passed
the laws to stop racial segregation in schools, voting and women’s rights to
vote. I felt as a though the second and third search were both informative and
credible. These roll call lists were the men who changed American History in
1964.
This was an awesome assignment and a great reflection on monumental steps in American History!
