What if Fred Vinson had lived through Brown vs. Board?
- What did you like about this project? What was most challenging?
I liked that I had free control to change something in history. It gave me the opportunity to choose something I was passionate about and change it to my liking. On the flip side, it was hard to pick something to change that would give me the outcome I wanted. - Describe the most interesting fact or event that you investigated.
Although I had studied Brown vs Board several times I was unaware that the judge died in the middle of deciding the verdict. I was also unaware of how esteemed he was. - How do the actions of individuals impact the historical record?
They impact it in a small way at first but it's like a butterfly effect. One person's absence may start a whirl wind of change. - How do systemic changes impact the historical record?
These can change history quickly and easily but maybe not in the expected fashion. - How influential can one decision be in the historical landscape?
One decision can totally change history. This case would have changed history regardless but my version of it was a completely new America. - How could this project be improved?
I feel as though there wasn't enough english in this. I'm not sure how the storytelling part could be improved but thats what I would change. - If you had it to do over, what would you change about your process for the project?
Rather than deciding how I wanted 2011 to be first I should have brainstormed ways the initial change could alter history.
