Open in new tab Racism Then and Now
Racism has existed in America for a long time and have been shown in different levels of intensity in different fields like housing, education and politics, compare then from now, there has been an increase of work effort to bringing right to African Americans. For example, many blacks are able to afford better housing but has been kept out because of racism. Eventually it was made law that no one can be deny of housing because of their race and this made some improvement. Another example is how some schools have been segregated, that whites hangout with whites and black be with other blacks and it because most kids attend a school that is closer to where they live. However in 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that racially segregated (separate) schools are unconstitutional, and this alone improved education for a lot of young African Americans. One last example, in 1963 John Lewis was 23 and was the youngest speaker attending the March on Washington and all 535 members of the US Congress were all whites, but now he is one of the 38 blacks in the House of Representatives and one in the Senate. In times like the 1880’s, racism has been there at a certain extent, however groups like the Civil Rights Movement have worked hard to bring rights to African Americans of today.
Tech Team Passion Project
a) Briefly describe your new and improved idea, by incorporating ideas and/or feedback.
The Sound and Lighting Team are responsible for setting up the lights and sound equipment for shows and events happening on the stage or the gym if needed, it makes a impact in our school and has always been acknowledged by our peers. So any changes required to make this idea more feasible are depended on further analysis throughout the year.
– What problems might I run into?
Since most stage events happen after school, not having enough available sound and lighting members to be there for set-up could be a potential obstacle. Best of what I can think of to solve this is see who can do what and when, so basically make a calendar of all the events, plan ahead and see who is free and who is not to attend and help set-up for said events. And ask members if it is possible to cancel what they have or see if they can find a way to resolve schedule conflicts.
– What skills do I need to complete this project? How can I attain these skills?
I would need to be able to problem solve, have critical and some creative thinking skills for when I run into obstacles or problems that are needed to be solved. Since its likely that this idea revolves around technology, I would have to learn more and expand on what I can do with computers.
Timeline?
I have been recently added to this project so I don’t know what to expect, what are the upcoming dates involving the Sound and Lighting team or what is the outcome. Though I do know that I would be getting training or an education to help complete the project and throughout the year I would keep an open mind.
