Photojournalist for the Day – Good Answers

Almost 50 years ago, Martin Luther King had a dream, “that my four
little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be
judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character”
(King, 1963). This same philosophy of integration and equality is not
only applicable to race in society, but to all groups of people who had
been previously treated unfairly. Indeed, the 1960s is an era
characterized by the struggle for civil rights of elders, women, members
of the GLBT community, persons with disabilities, and wage earners. All
of your communities today are forever changed due to these groups’
struggles.

Assignment

In this Assignment, you are going to become photojournalists. Go into
your community with a camera and gather evidence to create a Microsoft
PowerPoint® presentation of progress (or lack of progress, if that is
what you see) made toward the achievement of civil rights of these and
other groups in society. Design this presentation as though you were to
present it to a local citizen’s group. Think about change in your
community that is a result of a change in the rights now accorded to
more and more diverse groups. Look at businesses, place names,
neighborhoods, public facilities, parks, monuments, and other aspects of
the built environment.
•Please read and follow the Professional Photojournalist Protocol.
◦Be sure to include and fulfill the following objectives in your presentation.
◦Your presentation makes a definitive statement about the social
progress (or lack of social progress) that has been made in your
community since the Civil Rights Movements of the 1960s.
◦The photos are your own original work. The quality of your photos will not be assessed.
◦Each slide supports or refutes the thesis that progress has been made in the community since the civil rights era of the 1960s.

Caution: Do not take pictures of children in public places or at
schools. Photographing people is not recommended because it requires
