History Day is a contest for students that encourages the use of primary sources to get an up-close and personal view of an historical event. More than finding a summary in an encyclopedia or locating some pictures on the web, primary sources work to illustrate your topic from a first person point of view. And while you can find primary sources online, the real thrill of historical research comes from holding actual documents from that time in your hands! By doing your own research, asking and answering key historical questions you can become an expert on a topic and tell its story through a History Day project.

The phrase “it isn’t just a day…it’s an experience” defines History Day. You become the historian! Extend the walls of the classroom into archives, college libraries and manuscripts collections, museums and other places that hold the information that you will need to interpret your topic. Learn more about your own family and community history, or some other topic that really matters to you.

2019-20 Theme Overview: Breaking Barriers in History

Explore topics that support the 2019-20 History Day Theme: Breaking Barriers in History

2019-20 Theme:During the 2019-2020 school year, National History Day invites students to research and interpret topics related to the theme “Breaking Barriers in History.” As is the case each year, the theme is broad enough to encourage investigation of topics ranging from local history to world history, and from ancient times to the recent past.

In History Day the student is the historian. Historians examine, analyze and explain change, consequences, and significance. A strong History Day project should include a thesis that summarizes the student’s interpretation of the topic, analysis of the information discovered during research and the historical context of the topic, and a conclusion that explains the historical significance of the topic as well as its outcome.

To understand the historical importance of your topic, you need to ask and answer questions about time, place, cause and effect; change over time, impact and significance. You need to put your topic into historical context. Understanding the time and circumstances in which your topic took place is critical to drawing conclusions about your topic’s significance in history. It is not enough to describe what happened; you must explain why and how your topic turned out the way it did, its consequences, long term impact, and why it‘s historically important.

Your project will also be judged on how well you relate your topic to the theme, “Breaking Barriers in History.” Barriers can be natural, man-made, social, political, economic, transportation, or even artistic. You may choose to examine the breaking of natural barriers through topics like “Irrigation and Agriculture”, “Flood Control,” or the “Seattle Regrades.” Barriers to public access to the natural wonders of the Pacific Northwest have been broken by early “Recreation and Hiking Clubs.”

You could focus on social barriers by examining “Spokane Free Speech Fight,” various civil rights movements, the “Open Housing” movement, the “Boldt Decision, the “Filipino Cannery Workers and Farm Workers Union” and “Women Firefighters.”. There are also abundant research sources for topics on breaking political barriers such as the establishment of the initiative and referendum processes in Washington State, and “Women’s Suffrage.”

In the Pacific Northwest major transportation barriers have been broken by the Oregon Trail, the Mullan Road, railroads, early street railways, the “Good Roads” movement, the “Lake Washington Floating bridges and modern mass transit systems.

Barriers to economic development and access to goods and resources have been broken by the development of the Pike Place Public Market, “Public Port Authorities,” “Public Electric Utilities” and the Puyallup Indian Tribe Land Claims Settlement.” The “Grand Coulee Dam” and other dams on rivers in Washington State have removed barriers to electric power and water for irrigation. At the same time, they have placed barriers on the natural flow of rivers, what are the trade-offs for exchanging one type of barrier for another?

.The “Century 21 Exposition,” “Expo 74 and the “Northwest School of Artists” broke barriers to the understanding science, technology, the natural environment and artistic expression.

As with any NHD theme, “Breaking Barriers in History” presents students with many fascinating opportunities to explore history and to learn to use a wide range of primary and secondary sources. The interpretive challenge is to explain how and why your topic brought change and what impact of that change has had on history.

How did the strategies and methods methods used by local organizations compare with those used by thelarger Civil Rights Movement? How do local organizations and events reflect the larger impact of the Civil Rights movement in the United States? Are there any significant differences between the experienceand actions of local groups and those in other parts of the country? If there were significant differences, how and why did they occur? What was the Council on Urban Affairs and what role did it play? Whoare Horace Cayton, Samuel McKinney, Dorothy Hollingsworth, Carl Maxey, Charles V. Johnson, Edwin Pratt, Sam Smith, Larry Gossett, and Tyree Scott and how did the stands they took effect the CivilRights Movement? What roles did the Christian Friends for Racial Equality, NAACP, Central Area Contractors and Urban League play in the struggle for African American civil rights in the Northwest? What isthe Washington State Public Accomodations Act and when did it become law? Waht was the Washington State Board Against Discrimination and when was it created?

African Americans Come to the Pacific Northwest - Washington History Day Topic Guide

http://washingtonhistoryday.wikifoundry.com/page/African+Americans+Come+to+the+Pacific+Northwest[3/16/2017 3:55:50 PM]



African Americans have had a presence in the history of the Pacific Northwest since theLewis and Clark Expedition and began settling in Washington State in the 1850s. The firstmajor turning point in African American migration to the Northwest involved George W. Bush.Bush was one of the leaders of the first organized party of settlers migrating to Puget Sound.

Some key historical questions: Why did Bush and Michael Simmons lead a party ofsettlers North to start a settlement that eventually developed into the cities of Olympia andTumwater instead of settling in Oregon? What kinds of communications skills enabledGeorge W. Bush to became both a leader in his party of settlers and one of the leading

citizens of Washington Territory? Since then African Americans have settled throughout Washington in successivemigrations of railroad workers, miners, World War II factory workers and musicians. What brought these differentgenerations of settlers to Washington? What conditions did they encounter? What kinds of organizations did theyform to stay in touch and pursue their interests? How did they circulate news within their community?

http://washingtonhistoryday.wikifoundry.com/page/The+Roslyn+Coal+Miners+Strike[3/16/2017 3:56:26 PM]



From the 1880s to early twentieth century immigrants came to Roslyn to work in the coal mines. The first minerscame from southern and eastern Europe. The coal miners’ strike may have been the most significant event inRoslyn’s history.

Some key historical questions: Why did the strike occur? How common were strikes in the Northwest miningindustry? How did African Americans come to be recruited to work in the mines? What was the reaction to thearrival and employment of black miners? Why did a number of black families stay in Roslyn? How successfuland appropriate was the strike as a tactic for taking a stand? In the 1970s Roslyn was the first town or city of anysize in Washington State to elect…?

Dams Change Agriculture and Industry in the Northwest - Washington History Day Topic Guide

http://washingtonhistoryday.wikifoundry.com/page/Dams+Change+Agriculture+and+Industry+in+the+Northwest[3/16/2017 3:56:44 PM]



Between the 1930s and the 1960s the construction of a series of dams changed the character of the rivers, agriculture, industry, ecology and economy of the Pacific Northwest. The centerpiece of thisdevelopment, the Grand Coulee Dam, is one of the great engineering achievements of the twentieth century. The development of the Grand Coulee Dam included a debate lasting many years over the bestsite and choice of technology for delivering irrigation to the arid lands of the Columbia Basin.

Some key historical questions: Why was the Grand Coulee site chosen for dam construction? What role did the dams play during World War II? What impact have the dams had on agriculture, industryand settlement patterns? What impact have the dams had on the ecology of the of Northwest rivers? Which industries have declined since the construction of Columbia River Dams? What is the ColumbiaBasin Project and why was it established? What is the Bonneville Power Administration and why was it formed?

Be sure to consider other possibilities for historical questions as you analyze and interpret your topic.

Flood Control: Reforming Rivers and Changing Land Use - Washington History Day Topic Guide

http://washingtonhistoryday.wikifoundry.com/page/Flood+Control%3A+Reforming+Rivers+and+Changing+Land+Use[3/16/2017 3:57:18 PM]



Farmers in the White and Green River Valleys had been plagued by spring floods from the 1850s to the1960s. This problem was worked on and debated for many years, finally resulting in the construction of aseries of flood control dams in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. By the early 1960s farms in South Kingand Northern Pierce County were virtually free of spring flooding.

Some key historical questions: What has happened to farming in this area since the dams were completed? Howhas flood control changed the economy, land use and settlement patterns in these river valleys?
