Subject: MLK
birthday/Presidential inauguration on the same day.
Scope: We will
discuss the presidential inauguration being on Martin Luther King’s day and the
significance of the event. We will compare the 2009 record-breaking
inauguration to this year’s expectation during the anticipated frigid weather.
Need: It is a
significant event in that the first president in United States history is to be
sworn in on a day dedicated to one of the nations most successful and
relentless civil rights leaders.
Methods/Sources:
The reasoning behind the story is that everyone needs to understand the
magnitude of the event that is set to take place that weekend. There are
significant event that occur in a lifetime that people will forever remember
where they were and what they were doing. Whether a person likes the
president/MLK or even weather they don’t history will be made on this day and
people should explained the significance. The cable television show “CNN
presidential inauguration”. The History channel’s four-day special on Martin
Luther King and the civil rights movement. Various newspapers may be used to
supports opinions or add insight. USA today. Interviews from professors and
students n their pinion about the two events falling on the same day. The New
York Times database will be used to gather information as well.
Presentation: An
op-ed column of about 1000 words discussing the event and the correlation
between them. Sources sited. First paragraph would be about how far the nation
has progressed, second paragraph would pertain to the correlation between the
two and the amount of people expected to show up in regardless of the weather
conditions. The third paragraph will be about the possibilities of our nation
going forward in respect to diversity and the U.S. becoming a more accepting
culture a whole.
Follow up: A
follow up could be about the results of the turn out and whether the amount of
people who show up to the inauguration could mean a rise in presidential
support or a decline. This op-ed would also contain what the people would like
to see from the president.
