University in Columbus on Saturday, April 26, 2014 to
compete at the state competition.
NHD is
a focal point for the TECHS humanities department. Students
learn the historical method and presentation techniques such
as video editing and website design. Projects include
exhibits, websites, performances, documentaries and formal
research papers. This year’s theme was Rights and
Responsibilities in History.
Sophomore Delaina Lane, who will be portraying the mother of
Emmett Till in the Individual Performance category, said,
“Researching and doing a performance on the death of Emmett
Till connected with me on so many levels because of this
malicious murder of an innocent fourteen year old boy. I
felt the excruciating pain of his mother and the
African-American community”.
If
students win at the state level they will continue on to the
national contest in June.
Next year’s theme is Leadership and Legacy in History.
Many students are already planning their projects.
