Conclusion
My primary objective in assigning this project is to foster a spirit of action within students. I would hope that students, armed with knowledge and understanding, would take what they learned in the classroom, and move beyond it in an effort to make the world a better place, hopefully inspired by the actions of those figures included in their timelines who stood up for social justice.
