  1. Hi, my name is Luciana Messana and this is my
  2. March book to research project.
  3. I decided to research Diane nash.
  4. Diane Nash was born on May 15 1938 and is
  5. 83 years old today.
  6. She was a very important lady in history who was
  7. a white woman that helped in support of African americans
  8. and what they were trying to achieve freedom.
  9. This presentation brings you through the journey of Diane's life
  10. and how she helped so many people and how she
  11. impacted their lives.
  12. Okay, yeah.
  13. How did Diane nash connect to john Lewis's life?
  14. Well, they met at one of Jim Lawson's teachings about
  15. Nonviolence. They became closer and participated in the same movements.
  16. A quote that I feel supports this topic is we
  17. feel that if we pay these funds we would be
  18. contributing to and supporting the injustice and immoral practices that
  19. have been performed in their arrest and conviction of the
  20. defendants. 16 students, including nash and john Lewis of the
  21. american baptist Theological Seminary were jailed.
  22. James bevel.
  23. Another student from the seminary lead the second wave of
  24. protesters to jail and the movement was well on its
  25. way. This quote is explaining that both Lewis and Diane
  26. got arrested together, which goes a long way.
  27. Mhm mm, mhm, mhm.
  28. How did Diane Nash connect to the context of the
  29. time period and the other people or events at this
  30. time? Diane connected with the context of the time period
  31. and the people.
  32. Because when she realized racial inequality, she knew she wanted
  33. to help and do something about it, she could connect
  34. with the people because some people made fun of her
  35. for doing and believing what was right, a quote that
  36. I think is very important to share about this topic
  37. is. However, by the time she arrived at Fisk, she
  38. had already developed an interest in the problems of discrimination
  39. that all black americans faced and the possible solution through
  40. social change.
  41. Nashville segregated restaurants, theaters, water fountains and other facilities disturbed
  42. her tremendously.
  43. She became a key figure in the sit in movement
  44. of the 1960s that led to radical reform in the
  45. racially segregated American communities.
  46. This quote presents and proves that Diane did connect with
  47. the context of the time period and the people because
  48. Yan had realized the inequality and it connected with her
  49. in the sense that she knew how it felt and
  50. she wanted to make it change.
  51. Mhm. Yeah.
  52. What was the outcome and how have things changed?
  53. Diane was such a good influence and impacted the African
  54. american community.
  55. So much later the SNCC was formed, she became a
  56. founding member of the student nonviolent coordinating committee when violence
  57. in Alabama threatened to end the freedom rides.
  58. In 1961 Nash led the S.
  59. N. C.
  60. C. S.
  61. Effort to continue them.
  62. This quote is very important quote because if it weren't
  63. for Diane and the SNCC African americans wouldn't have been
  64. able to participate in the sit ins or to continue
  65. to fight for freedom.
  66. Not many things have changed from then to now.
  67. But Diane has definitely impacted our country.
  68. Okay. Yeah.
  69. Yeah. What current events have been impacted by Diane Nash?
  70. No current events have been impacted by this topic but
  71. the George Floyd and Black Lives Matter movement connect to
  72. this topic of it.
  73. Diane Nash tried to prevent what happened last year to
  74. George Floyd.
  75. Diane is still alive today and was probably so devastated
  76. about what happened.
  77. Many things change in the world since the civil rights
  78. movement. If Diane wasn't so old, I think she would
  79. have been like many other protesters and bring peace but
  80. also protest nonviolently.
  81. See here is the works cited page.
  82. Mm. Yeah.
  83. And thank you so much to listening to my presentation.
  84. Hope you enjoyed it.
