Activism Proposal Activism Project Proposal (revision) Backround: Racism is a problem in the United States that activists, such as Martin Luther King Jr. and his daughter Yolanda King, have been working to change for centuries. For example, when Yolanda walked the same route as her father in Marquette Park, she states “ that it was possible to think that everything had changed in Marquette and the South because she received warmer reception than her father did, but memories of the 1966 riots linger, as well as some of the issues her father worked to change” (Pickett, 1). Also, some movements that King launched, such as the Poor People’s Movement, have seemed to work against his “dream” of a “promised land of equality” because there are more women and people of color living in poverty now then when he launched the movement ( Pickett, 1). The American Film Festival of 2002 has given the film Far From Heaven the biggest buzz because it reveals the truth about “ racism taking over the suburban garden”, and has praised it as a quality American movie, talking about it as the “new American Beauty ticket to the Oscars” ( Jacobson, 1). racism, each, ribbons, group, member, about, make, because, out, homeroom, during, different, women, students, ribbon, proposal, permission, day, color, typed, tai, school, race, people, own, one, king, impact, history, go, given, film, father, events, community
