Please select an article from the New York Times published on your birthday, 1965.  Sum up briefly the gist of the article in less than one page, but devote the remaining four pages to placing the subject covered by the article in broader historical context.  What events lead to the situation described in your article? Is this situation part of some larger trends? If the situation is ongoing, how did previous actions constrain or inform major players in 1965? History rarely repeats itself, so feel free to compare and contrast your 1965 subject matter to previous historical examples.  In doing so, please draw upon the course readings, films, lectures, section discussion, and your own CYOU research.  You are also welcome to draw upon your historical knowledge from other classes and resources.
