For a history project, I need to make a memorial for James Chaney, Michael Schwerner, Andrew Goodman. It needs to be extremely creative, yet I can't think of anything.

Question

A little background info:

James Chaney, Michael Schwerner, Andrew Goodman were civil rights workers who were killed during the Mississippi Burnings.

I was thinking of a science fair tri-fold board and decorating it but I don't know what I would put on it.

Please help and let me know if you have any ideas.

Thank you very much. I really appreciate your help.

Be sure to click on the links to explore this fully, including the See also and External Links at the bottom of the webpage.

If you're going to do a tri-fold, you could devote one-third to background biographical information about these three young men; one-third to the voter registration situation in Mississippi as it was in the 1960s, as well as what these three envisioned for the future; one-third to what happened to them, including when and how their bodies were found.

Or play with ideas like these and move them around.

Jacob,

One caution: don't use wikipedia as your SOLE source. Not all the "facts" presented there are correct. Do as Writeacher suggested and use all the links in wikipedia, as they probably provide accurate information.If you find any contradictory information, do more research or don't use the data from wikipedia. Many teachers won't accept wikipedia as a source, so check with your advisor first.

Thank you very much, Writeacher and LehrerinSagt. I really appreciate your help.
