America’s journey is complex and ever-changing.  Our presidents have acted as leaders along this journey, often making decisions that have vast implications for our history as a nation.  In this assignment, you will research a president from this semester (mostly 20th century) that you believe has had an intense contribution to our American history and place him in conversation with a cultural/social event or issue that occurred during his tenure in office.  How do the president’s actions influence and respond to social change and unrest?  For example, you may choose to analyze NAME_1’s decisions in the Oval office that had an influence on the Civil Rights movement and NAME_2.  Are NAME_3’s and NAME_4’s definitions of freedom in sync with one another?  You will engage fully with the issues surrounding the “top-down” presidency and the social and political perspectives from the “bottom-up.”  You must use specific examples.   Your paper should be 1,500 words and include a bibliography with two sources that are NOT internet blog sources.
