The topic I would like is History Yesterday &  Today General Overview: This research project will start with you examining a recent news story

The topic I would like is History Yesterday &  Today General Overview: This research project will start with you examining a recent news story (reported within the last year) that reveals new information about the historical past, OR a recent news story that contributes to the longer  dialogue/history of the relationship between Africa, the Americas, and Europe. The goal of this essay should be to emphasize the idea that history is a continually developing story that evolves with new information, discoveries, and/or changes in political, social, and or economic conditions.   Important note: the news story should be directly tied to an event that this course covers (Reconstruction until today). Examples: The question/concern about unequal treatment under the law; a discovery of a new artifact that tells us something previously unknown about the historical past; the nature of protest in a modern democratic America. Research Objectives & Questions to be Discussed in Your Essay: What is the topic of the news story, and what does the reporter highlight as the current historical significance? What is the historical context of the news story? What does it specifically relate to? How does the news story either add new information, expand, and/or change what we know about the historical past? Overall, using your news story as an example, how do recent events and discoveries illustrate that history is a dynamic and evolving study?
