EXPLAIN HOW SENATOR JOSEPH MCCARTHY DEFINED COMMUNIST NATIONS WITHIN THE SPEECH. WHAT SPECIFIC THREATS DID THESE NATIONS POSE?
Assess if Senator Joseph McCarthy charges were accurate.
Analyze anti-communist sentiments during the Cold War era, were these sentiments valid. If so, how? If not, why not?
Explain if there are other examples of events similar to the Red Scare that have occurred throughout history and modern day.

Option 2: The Civil Rights Movement
Using the Internet, locate and read Martin Luther King Jr’s “I Have a Dream” speech given in Washington D.C., August 1963.
