The Civil Rights Museum
Number of words: 548 - Number of pages: 2.... America. This museum has specific information
about my ancestors in civil rights movements. For example; it tells us the
many voices of struggle, Nat Turner, Dred Scott, Fredrick Douglass, etc…
who fought against bondage by stealing from their owners, escape arson,
even homicide.
The civil rights museum is a useful place, because I need to know
where I've been to know where I'm going. There are still thousands of
African-Americans who do not know of such a place, and that poses a big
problem.
I personally think that finding information for the museum was a
little difficult. No one in .....

The Town Of El Dorado Springs
Number of words: 5554 - Number of pages: 21.... statement that really piqued my curiosity. "Indians who once
roamed the area had known that the spring had medicinal qualitites, but,
with characteristic reticence and secretiveness, they did not reveal this
fact to the white man. They held the secret in their hearts as they gave
ground and moved westward from the surging horde of white immigrants . . .
" (1). To my mind, this sounded like a fallacy; how did they know the
Indians knew if they never told anyone? Could I find out if the Indians
considered the water medicinal? Could I prove this statement false?
Farther on in the book, I c .....

also farmed. The basic social unit was the band, wh .....
