1- The theme of our "we are..." project was the gay rights movement of the given time period. We focused mostly on Harvey Milk and his story, along with Dan White, Anita Bryant, Mayor George Moscone, and Senator John Briggs. We also focused on three major events; the Briggs initiative, the killings of Moscone and Milk, and Milk's election.
2- The items we chose mostly represented the feelings of the pro-gay community. They included slogans such as "Keep Hope Alive". These items give off an impression of what the urgency of the matter was in the time.
3- To obtain the items, we went up to San Francisco in the Haight and Ashbury and going to Castro Street areas. The support in those areas was overwhelming and helped us succeed the project in a much better fashion.
4- If I could do anything differently, I would have wanted to spend more time in San Francisco getting the objects. If we had spent more time there, we could have maybe been able to find a bigger spectrum of objects.
5- As advice to other classes doing this project, I would tell them to really enjoy what they are doing and to delve into the subject as much as possible and immerse themselves into it. If they focus well on the project with a clear theme and calendar, it would be very fast project to complete.
