A+Lily+Amelia+Haylee

1. Who or What Did Your Group Choose? Haylee, Amelia and I chose to do Ralph Abernathy, the Civil Rights Leader. 2. Why did you choose this person or event? What makes it significant to the State of Alabama? We chose him because he had a major part in helping with the Civil Rights Movements, even though he is not known. We thought that since he did so much to help, he should be honored for that. He had a big roll in Alabama-Related civil rights movements, was "BFF's" with MLK jr., and even had a big roll in organizing the Montgomery Bus Boycott. He lead alot of anti-segregation groups, and marches in Alabama. 3. What types of symbolism might you use in your design? We'll have a replica of the Lincoln Memorial Chair (for his resting place in the Lincoln Cemetary) on 4 tires and a road going through the middle of the chair (he helped organize the Mongomery Bus boycott), and the chair can be half black, and half white but molding into grey in the middle ( he helped with civil rights) and have 20 pegs on the back of the chair ( interstate 20 is named after him) with a bundle of roses on the chair, as a sign of respect. We will also have the birthdate and deathdate on the arms of the chair.

Hayden, Harmon, and Patrick's group want to do the same thing, so are we still alowed to Mrs. Ficket/Hall?

Hi Mrs. Hall/Fickert! I was wondering if we could do him. Here is a little link that could tell you more about him...Wikipedia: Ralph Abernathy info. Lily, Amelia , and Haylee

I am a little disappointed in this selection. My instructions were to pick someone who wasn't widely known, and he is. You can do it, but I wish you had dug a little deeper. Ms. Fickert
