My group chose the topic xenophobia which is the fear or
hatred of foreigners or strangers or of that which is foreign or strange.
From there we kind of narrowed our topic down to a well-known
group that is hateful and hated. We decided on discussing the Ku Klux Klan
(KKK) and their involvement in the Civil Rights Movement. (Well more like the
problems that they caused during that time period.)
I was thinking that you had us pull topics from news sources
because they would be a reliable source to do a research project from. If we
could find a news article on it, it also probably meant that our topics were
something that we could realistically do a project on unlike the topics
discussed in class like the World War II which would be practically impossible
to do a detailed project on.
After doing some presearching I find this topic to be
interesting [interesting because the things that the Ku Klux Klan did are so
insane that it is hard to believe that it really happened. And that they still exist
today!!] My group wants to explain the things that the KKK did and maybe even
add in a few cases where the KKK are still causing problems in 2012.
