This course has introduced and assessed many noteworthy figures related to the continuing buildup of the United States and its place within the world and globalization during the last 140 years. For this assignment, you will choose a noteworthy civil rights leader from the mid-20th century to the present. Your selection may be taken from speakers or religious, economic, or social leaders. You may not use any U.S. President.

This assignment is open to any reform discussed in this course (e.g., creed, race, age, status, or gender). Prepare an outline of how you would choose to communicate that figure’s relevance to today. This is not a biography. Your argument should highlight how society remembers him or her now. For this assignment, you will be creating a one-page outline (minimum of 300 words) about your chosen figure.

If you choose, this could be used to help write your transcript for the Unit VII assignment described below. Submit your outline in this unit. It is suggested, though not required, that you include potential sources. The goal of this assignment is to prepare you for the Unit VII assignment described below. However, it is not required that you use the same person from your Unit VI Outline for the Unit VII Scholarly Activity. If you do intend to use this outline in Unit VII, it is highly advised that you review the instructions below and prepare with that assignment in mind.

Paper For Above instruction

The task at hand involves selecting a distinguished civil rights figure from the mid-20th century onward—excluding U.S. Presidents—and developing a comprehensive outline on how to communicate that individual's contemporary relevance. This process aims to forge a clear understanding of societal memory and appreciation of their contributions, emphasizing their ongoing importance rather than merely recounting their biography.

Introduction

The chosen figure must exemplify a significant aspect of social reform related to creed, race, age, status, or gender. The introduction will contextualize the importance of civil rights movements and the impact of influential leaders in shaping modern societal values. It will specify the figure selected and briefly outline the reasons for their prominence, setting the stage for the subsequent analysis of their relevance today.

Outline Components

  1. Historical Background and Achievements: An overview of key accomplishments and contributions within the civil rights movement or social reform context. This includes significant speeches, actions, or policies that led to substantial societal change.
  2. Societal Memory and Recognition: An examination of how society currently remembers and honors this figure. This could include monuments, commemorations, educational curricula, public debates, or media portrayals that sustain their legacy.
  3. Contemporary Relevance: A detailed argument on how their contributions continue to influence today's social issues. Highlight ongoing struggles for rights, equality, and recognition, illustrating the figure’s enduring significance.
  4. Message and Communication Strategy: An outline of how to effectively communicate their relevance to various audiences. This may involve addressing misconceptions, emphasizing their role in current discourse, or inspiring ongoing activism.
  5. Sources and Resources: Suggestions for credible sources that support the communication plan. These could include academic articles, speeches, documentary materials, or interviews that provide depth and perspective.

Conclusion

The conclusion will synthesize the key points, reaffirming the ongoing importance of the selected leader. It will also reflect briefly on the potential impact of this communication approach on public understanding and societal progress.
