Freedom From Want
Happy Thanksgiving, all.
Below is a diptych of a rather famous image on the left by Norman Rockwell, and a much more recent image created by an organization calling themselves For Freedoms. The group describes themselves as:
"[A] platform for greater participation in the arts and in civil society. We produce exhibitions, installations, public programs, and billboard campaigns to advocate for inclusive civic participation. Inspired by American artist Norman Rockwell’s paintings of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Four Freedoms (1941)—freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear—For Freedoms Federation uses art to encourage and deepen public explorations of freedom in the 21st century."
The Bloody Massacre Hearing
Help your group choose your side's 3 best witnesses for the upcoming trial. Make sure you have written responses for each witness in your annotated packet or in a separate Google doc. You only have to analyze the witnesses your group has assigned. You do not have to take notes on all of the witnesses unless you choose to. Here's a copy of the assignment if you want to type your response.
