The general theme of this page was of the Civil Rights Movement. Here, poems, pictures, and videos demonstrate one of the greatest violations of an American ideal: freedom. The page begins with a mega-picture of Martin Luther King, Jr. and a small quote beneath. The size of the picture represents the colossal impact that this man made as he addressed America about the potential of dreams and lack thereof for one very large community. Two videos were brought into the page to display a visual piece in evidence of the Civil Right's Movement and how it has, in essence, shaped character and society in America. In the first video where Matin Luther King, Jr. made a speech, you can see the pain in his eyes as he tries to remedy America and human morale most simply with words. Meanwhile, other quotes and poems render more insight of a shunned character in America. With words, they describe experiences and feelings that they had felt during the Civil Right's Movement and times past. Other activists such as W.E.B. Dubois describe how African Americans have been shut out of society by having been segregated by a veil. While segregation no longer exists today, discrimination continues to prevail in American society. In all, the Civil Right's Movement embodies a great deal of the American character for it still publicly displays Amercan flaws as well as a time period that America has finally overcome to some degree.
