HIS 262 Module Two Project Proposal Template Chosen Topic: African American Rights: Juneteenth I chose this topic because I am a person of color who doesn’t know enough about this historical event. I would love to delve deeper into this topic and how it came to be. I learned about the Emancipation Proclamation in my earlier school years but Juneteenth was never a topic that was mentioned. I want to know why it took so many years to make it a holiday if the events that led to it happened so long ago and were celebrated as such before it became an official holiday. I think an audience would be interested in an exhibit like this for the same reasons I chose it. I find my generation of black friends are grateful for being acknowledged by this event but they, too, aren’t really educated on it. Like most Black history, the holiday has been passed down through the oral tradition. As a person of color I think it’s important to learn about it and educate others on it. I believe an audience will feel the same. Name or Title of Artifact Type of Artifact Location (Include link if online) How It Relates to the Historical Event or Subject 1.
