1) What was Martin Luther King's position on the Vietnam War? Please identify at least five of King's arguments. Based upon your readings, and the films do you agree with King's analysis? Why or why not?

When you hear the words 1960’s what do you think of? Most people will say Black power, Vietnam war, The Beatles or even the assassination of John F. Kennedy. To many people this is a time period that will change America for many years to come but for some people like James McBride it was something that he kept in the back of his mind and wasn’t important at that time for the most part. Instead in the 1960’s the only thing that ran through his mind was his family and by family I mean his eleven brothers and sisters and most importantly his mother Ruth McBride Jordan, when family is everything all that we got, finding past history and trying to get answers to unsolved questions is something that is quite difficult for most of us but for

Around the same time, America made history with the first man on the moon. Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong landed using the Apollo 11 on July 20, 1969. Armstrong became the first man to take a step on the moons soil and the two men planted the American flag deep into the dirt to make our accomplishments known to all. Five days later, Nixon came out with the Vietnam Policy also known as the Nixon Doctrine. The doctrine stated that the United States would keep all their treaty commitments, the government would protect any of our allies, as well as ourselves, if nuclear power was threatened and we will assist countries with violence with accordance to our treaties but make sure that the country we are helping does the majority of the work. This was a great action because it allowed us to continue fighting against communism while keeping the body count and protests at a minimum. The fewer soldiers overseas, the less publicized it will be and would therefore upset or anger fewer citizens causing more peace at

December 1, 1969 marks the beginning of turmoil and uncertainty for those men born between the years 1944 and 1950. For many it would be the reason to flee the country for others pressured into hiding or mutilating themselves to appear unfit for service while some took their with the draft. While the Vietnam War was heavily publicized in the media still many people were unsure of the why the United States was involved, and being forced to fight for a cause without merit is understandably is unsettling. In the land of the free how could it be that such fundamental rights were being stripped away? Richard Nixon the president during the end of the Vietnam War in his address to the nation in 1969 had this to say “Let us be united for peace. Let

The 1960’s was a very influential time in the United States of America. The United States began to explore a new culture of people known as hippies. The USA endured a great scare of nuclear war from the Cuban Missile Crisis. This country lost two famous leaders from that era; John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., who were assassinated. The United States also began the move towards equality by passing the Civil Rights Act. The final major accomplishment from 1960’s was when Neil Armstrong was the first astronaut to land on the moon.

The most important question I feel was asked in this film was the one that Peter Davis asked in one of his interviews to Walt Rostow the Aide to Presidents Kennedy and Johnson. The question was "why did they need us there?" In other words why did we have to join into this war in Vietnam, what sort of gain was in it for our country getting into another time and economic consuming war. An answer was given through a short clip of Lyndon Johnson stating "the answer is simple there is none else who can do

Putting a man on the moon was one of the most tremendous accomplishments of the mid-1900’s. The technology required was immense; however some of that same technology, by today's standards, is substandard. The computer that put men on the moon was less powerful than a modern calculator. The Saturn V rocket used to put the men on the moon was one of the most powerful rockets

According to Dave Cosnette and countless other conspiracy theorists, the 1969 Apollo 11 mission never went to the moon and several say never left Earth’s atmosphere. The theories range from the crew never leaving Earth to the crew only getting into the orbit of the moon. Their evidence consists of anomalies found in the footage captured by the crew on the moon as well as in space, technology at the time of the mission, and numerous natural phenomena that the crew would have to overcome to land on the moon. Their arguments depend on low quality video and photographs, along with limited insight due to a lack of credentials and knowledge on the events and physics. Some “evidence” commonly used by conspiracy theorists are the shadows in the film, lack of stars while on the moon, the Van Allen belt, and many more anomalies that may not even be relevant to the mission itself. The conspiracy theory that will be discussed is the one where the mission never left the lower atmosphere of Earth proven by anomalies in the film along with the “impassable” Van Allen radiation belt (Cosnette 1).

On July 16th, 1969 the Apollo 11 spacecraft launched from Earth and landed on the moon four days later. It was the first of six manned spacecraft to land on the moon, all launched by NASA and the United States. Conspiracy theorists have tried to prove that the moon landings were fake from the moment the Apollo 11 spacecraft landed on the moon. One of the conspiracy theorists’ biggest pieces of evidence against the moon landing are two photos from NASA, which have been proven to actually be taken on the moon. Another piece of evidence that supports the idea that the moon landings were real is that a Japanese explorer found the Apollo 15 launch area on the moon.

The 70’s was a magical time, it was carefree and fun. Today I will be discussing in detail interviews I had with Mark Nimphius and Melody Sorano. I first sat down with Mark Nimphius, my father after a day of work. Then I interviewed my grandmother, Melody Sorano. They both spent a part of their lives in the 70’s.

1. I have been fascinated by the history of the Titanic for as long as I can

Near Sabine and Ritter craters, The Sea of Tranquility is the site of the first human landing on the Moon. Tour the Sea of Tranquility is a lunar mare that sits within the Tranquillitatis basin. This is where Buzz Aldrin saluted the US flag during Apollo 11 in 1969. You can see his footprint. It is also the landing site of Apollo 11, Apollo 17, Apollo 16 and Surveyor 5.

In the texts and image that were provided showed both effective and ineffective qualities. The reason why is because some had some appeal uses and it was easy to understand what the speaker was trying to say, and do. Some were difficult to find what the author was trying to state; which left the text or image to be ineffective. The following statements were why the given texts and image were either ineffective or effective in my opinion.

“The Last Man on the Moon” is a film to show viewers what being an astronaut is like through their own experiences. This film brings to light exactly how hard being an astronaut can be and the price that the Apollo men paid to stay in the NASA program. When Apollo astronaut Eugene Cernan stepped off the moon in 1972, he left his footprints and his daughter’s initials in the lunar dust. Released on February 26, 2016 “The Last Man on the Moon” is directed by Mark Craig. Eugene Cernan tells the story of the first travels to the moon and the journey from his standpoint. Over forty years later, Cernan is ready to tell his legendary story about the enthusiasm he has for the program, the bravery it takes, and the sacrifices he has made to be where he is today.
