Lyndon B. Johnson Website Analysis

The United States revolution is one of the most iconic events in not just American, but world history. So when performing research on a platform as vast as the internet, proper precautions must be taken. A well designed and thorough web evaluation should be done to ensure the credibility and integrity of the website’s content. Certain Criteria involve who authored the website, when the website was created, when it was last updated, who the website was intended for, what types of resources the website offers, and the sites overall value to the reader.

Lyndon B. Johnson was born August 27, 1908, in Stonewall, Texas Sam Ealy Johnson, Jr., a politician, farmer, cotton speculator, and newspaper owner, and Rebekah Baines Johnson, a homemaker and sometime newspaper editor (Smallwood). He was he first born of five children. Johnson started school school near his home along the Pedernales River in the Texas hill country at age four. Although at age four, Johnson attended the nearby one-room, one-teacher Junction School, his formal education began in 1913 when he was enrolled in first grade in the Johnson City Elementary School. He also attended a school in the small community of Albert. Johnson’s father, Sam Johnson, was a small-time farmer whose first love was politics; he served several terms in the Texas legislature. He also was able to gain a measure of financial security which allowed him to re-enter politics. In 1917, he won a special election and regained his seat in the Texas legislature. Johnson was introduced to the fascinating world of politics as small boy. When Sam Johnson decided to move, Johnson then transferred to high school nearby Johnson City. He did exceptionally well as a student. He was elected senior class president, was a leader of the school debate team, finished second in a graduating class of six, and gave the student oration at graduation. Johnson’s classmates recall that he always wanted to be the leader and always wanted to

Document B shows various polls taken between 1964 and 1964. As the polls go further beyond 1963, more and more people began to support civil rights(Gallup 3). As more people began to approve of civil rights, Johnson began to support them more and more as well. This correlation shows that Johnson was merely supporting whatever the people supported, not making choices based on his own belief. Document E shows that he also practiced appeasement in non-political circumstances. While speaking with civil rights activist Roy Wilkins, he was asked why he did not support civil rights until now if it had been such an important issue to him. He replied by quoting MLK by saying “Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty, I’m free at last.” (Dallek 1). He was quoting Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in this situation because he was dealing with a civil rights activist. This all shows how his decision was based on politics because it shows his tactics of

I did not think that the things that happened back in the 1800’s was something that carried its way through the years to today. After my visit to the Rhode Island Historical Society Library and after the research I did, I realized that the historical societies that impacted the way life was back in the 1800’s was almost the same societies that were around today and the things that the societies impacted the way the world is today. The difficulties that I had while looking for research on my own in the Rhode Island Historical Society Library was that there was not a lot of information about Elizabeth Buffum Chace and what she did. Other than books that can be check out from a public library, there was not a lot of materials that were special to the Rhode Island Historical Society Library. I resolved this challenge by checking books out of the Exeter Public Library and I did research on the Community College of Rhode Island’s online library and got an article on Elizabeth Buffum Chace. I feel that I did not learn anything from going to the Rhode Island Historical Society Library. I do not work well in groups and going to this library working to get information with the three other people did not help me because there was more talking about other things than the work we needed to get done. I also felt that the materials at the Rhode Island Historical Society library was not that important to the

The museum representatives were very nice and helpful. Entering the Charles H. Wright museum, my fiance and I were stopped by a cameraman who worked at the museum. The cameraman was very welcoming, encouraging, and persistent. Entering the D.I.A, the representatives at the desk were very respectful and understanding. Admission was free to the D.I.A for all Wayne County residents; however; I forgot my state I.D at home and the lady was kind enough to accept an old check stub as proof that I resided in Wayne County. Both museums were very clean and quiet, with the exception of the kids who were enjoying the moment. Comparing the two, my most favorite exhibit would have had to be the slave ship I mentioned at the Charles H. Wright museum. The slave ship is more than an exhibit, it’s like two minutes in a slave’s shoes. Walking through the dark ship, I could slightly imagine and empathize the life of slaves on that ship. My least favorite thing was a picture that I’ve attached to the essay. The picture is of a black slave beating another slave while the Master’s watched. Though the image may represent the truth, I’m not a big fan of ugly truths - especially when they don’t compare to the bigger

Lyndon B. Johnson was the 36th President of the United States from the Democratic Party. He was a firm supporter of peace and equal rights of all citizens, and throughout his presidency he used his popularity to pass legislations protecting voting rights, the environment, fighting crime, preventing poverty, as well as improving education for all citizens no matter what race. His long-term objective as president was to “usher in a new way of life” (National 1) called the “Great Society”. The overall idea was to urge citizens to treat others equally no matter what race.

As the public library became the central place to house papers, records and historical materials of the presidents it was necessary for a series of regulation to be put into place to protect these documents. First, in 1978 the Presidential Records Act, was passed that established that the presidential records that documented the constitution are property of the United States Government. However, there was controversy after President Nixon resigned concerning the ownership of documents. To find a solution to this problem, congress passed the Presidential Recordings and Materials Preservation Act which placed presidential papers in ownership of the government. Furthermore, Jimmy Carter established that each presidential library after Carter

If I were to be writing a research paper, I would go to “Credo Reference” to lay down my groundwork for the paper. Then I would go to “EBSCOhost” to find some more in-depth articles on whatever my subject was. To top it off I would go to “American History in Video” in order to suck up some last bits of missed information. I couldn’t see it as very hard to make a great research paper when all of this information is checked and ready in front of you. After doing a little more digging around citing sources in the Allen Library I see this nifty little tool to help me called easybib. This is a citation generator that can help me create citations. All I have to do is enter the information from the page and it creates a professional citation in whatever form I want. I’m not sure exactly how useful this will be but I’ve been clicking around the Allen Library for quite some time now with no luck of finding anything else. My fifth resource is “eBook Collection”. “eBook Collection” is a collection of online books that you access through Allen County College that allows you to read and download

The main thing that stood out for me was Universal Design for Learning, and how much “assistive technology” and “accessibility” tools benefits EVERYONE! There is no such thing as average! Even as adults we benefit from this approach!

I toured the virtual Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. Though it was not face-to-face, I still really enjoyed my experience through the virtual word. I was more fascinated about the liveliness in the virtual world than anything else. I think the virtual museum itself was more of a work of art than the art it displayed because it covered almost every inch from many different points of view in the museum. I also liked how it was pretty easy to operate and move around, and no matter how much I zoomed in or out I could read almost everything perfectly fine. While being able to explore this museum from the comfort of my own home was a plus, I truly missed out on being able to read the display labels to learn more about the artifacts. Reading about the history or story behind a work of art is, in my opinion, the best part. This virtual tour was captivating, and I hope to someday visit the museum in person.”
