Dancing in the Moonlight!
Toploader – Dancing in the moonlight
I will use this song as a background music when John and Edward’s family gather up for Thanksgiving Day in 1927.
This scene should be very joyful and happy because it was the Economic Boom years in 1920’s.
I picked this song because it was perfectly fittable for that joyful scene and I like how it’s classic since the time peoriod is 1920’s in the movie.
Fast tempo, joyful, and makes you dance! I think this song is perfect for this scene.

The First Nobel Prizes Awarded – 1901
Alfred Nobel created dynamite. Since he didn’t want to be remebered as a creator of such a deadly device, Nobel created a will that left a bulk of his fortune to the establishment of five prizes; physics, chemistry, medicine or physiology, peace and literature. On December 10, 1901, five years after Alfred Nobel’s death, the first five Nobel Prizes were awarded. Since it’s only awarded to people who had done a great deed, we can easily see and recorgnize who has done what. Also awards usually boost people to achieve a better result.

Montgomery Bus Boycott
This event was a start point of the civil rights movement. In 1955 in Montgomery, Rosa Parks, an African American woman, was arrested for refusing to give her seat to a white person. Almost all black people in Montgomery stopped using the public transportaitons. This boycott resulted in a crippling financial deficit for the Montgomery public transit system. Finally in December 20, 1956, the United States Supreme Court declared that Alabama and Montgomery laws requiring segregated buses are unconstitutional.

Baby Boom
The Baby Boom appeared when the s
oldiers came back to their home from the war. The term “Baby Boom” usually refers to the dramatic post world war ll baby boom between 1946 and 1964. According To Wikipedia, there are an estimated 78.3 million Americans who were born at this time period. You can see the graph on the right side of the post how it grew dramatically in that time period.
This event is very important because it changes the market and the society. First, the market has greatly impacted by the baby boom because as more babies born, there will be more baby supplies and more hospitals for babies. And as time passes, the baby boomers will grow and the market will lean more into teenager interests such as bags, club, and so on. Finally, when they get older, and become elderly, there will be more nursing homes.
Second, it also chaged our society. As baby boomers became teenagers and young adults, they wanted the society to be changed. There was a movement to get away from conservative 1950’s and eventually resulted in revolutionary ways of thinking and actually changed the hackneyed American life. Boomers’ new ways of thinking affected education, lifestyle, laws and entertainments. Many of revolutionary ideas which began by Baby Boomers are still continuing to develop these days.

Centennial Olympic Park bombing
This video was posted in Youtube by logancrawford in May 21, 2007. This video actually is a part of 5 EyeWitness News. The Centennial Olympic Park bombing was a terrorist bombing on July 27, 1996 in Atlanta, Georgia during the 1996 Summer Olympics. Two people died and 111 people were injured.
This event is very important because this event seems like a warning of torrorism. If the United States took this event more seriously and maintained higher national security, maybe such an event like 9/11 would not had happened. This shows how we should pay more attention for those small events and take it seriously so that we can prevent worse thing to be happened in future. Preventing beforehand is definitely better than fixing afterwards.

Women’s Suffrage Debate
This picture was taken in 1971 in front of the White House. Women are picketing for their rights to vote. Women finally started to have a movement for their rights to vote. It eventually led to the Nineteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution which prohibits each state and the federal government from denying any citizen the right to vote because of that citizen’s sex.
This event is very important because it let women vote. If this had not happened, women wouldn’t be able to vote even in now days. Also it happened not only in the United States but also in other parts of the world. It shows how women were treated unfairly and now that from these movements, they are slowly getting back their rights as a human being. Women are finally taking actions!!
