National History Day

[MeaganRoses]

This is so incredibly off-topic and not related to Minecraft in any way shape or form, but I'm just wondering if there's anyone on here that's doing History Day? If so, what's your topic? I'm having a really hard time coming up with one, the theme this year is so hard.
Last year I placed 8th in the nation in my category and this year I hope to go again, but I don't even have a topic right now

Well, what subjects are you interested in, and what are you allowed to do?

Maybe I shouldve provided background for those who don't know XD History Day is basically a Science Fair... for history. It's a research project and you can do the project in different mediums. Last year the national theme was 'Turning Points in History' so my topic was how Lewis Hine used his photos of child laborers to help bring about child labor laws. This year the national theme is 'Rights and Responsibilities in History' ...whatever that's supposed to mean -_-
I want to do something from 1930s-1990 because of the amount of primary sources I could use.

Rights and responsibilities... Hmm... Maybe the Civil Rights Movement?
