Subject: The
inauguration of President Obama, America’s first African American president, into his second term
on Martin Luther King Jr. day.
Scope: I will research both the background of Martin Luther
King Jr. and his valiant efforts towards civil rights and then move into the
election of President Obama in 2009 and his road to reelection in 2012.
Need: Rather readers support the democratic party or not, it
will be a notable moment that President Obama will be inaugurated into office
on a day honored for a man who dedicated his life to civil rights. Even more, the inauguration marks Obama’s
second term as presidency and his inauguration is a nod to the future of
America while remembering King in the past.
Methods: This story will be recorded by including quotes and
moments from President Obama’s inauguration. I will also include facts and
statistics about the ceremony. But I
will also give a brief history about King and his involvement in the Civil
Right’s Movement.
Sources: I will use the inauguration ceremony itself as one
of the primary sources in this piece, including everything from the turnout and
the cost, to the President’s speech. I will include Internet research on King
and past articles about President Obama from credible newspapers including The Washington Post.
Presentation: This is a single article that would make a
timely addition to the Editorial page. It could be comfortable fit with either
an image of President Obama or Martin Luther King Jr. or even both men.
Follow-Up: I do not at this time intend to write a follow-up
to this piece.
