2/12/2009 - History Makers

On Thursday, I was introduced to History Makers. I found this application to be very helpful in learning about African Americans' impact and feelings about Criminal Justice. It is very appealing to learn African Americans views on the Criminal Justice system, and how they feel in can be changed. I also found many people who not only talked about Illinois, but also Springfield. I'm not sure if this is just a program for Illinois' students, but it kinda caught me off guard because they were talking about the state that I lived in.

  1. The HistoryMakers oral history project started off as a project that focused mostly on black Chicago before developing into a national black history project, but because its offices are based in Chicago, the project continues to interview individuals in that city and across the state. I am glad that you are finding information specific to Springfield that you find useful, and I hope your classmates will as well.
