Summary of the 10-20-30 BM

Posted by James Prell in African American History - Sherif on

     This benchmark had us interview three people, one each from 10,20, and 30 years older than me. I asked them what their favorite song was from that time. The results I got were Ghostbusters, "Gloria" by Them, and "We will rock you" by Queen.
     On top of that, we researched historical events from around that time. A summary of these articles, as well as links to the articles themselves are located here.
     The purpose of this project was to study the music and events of different time periods. As well as study the similarities of the two.
