Instructions
This course has introduced and assessed many noteworthy figures related to the continuing evolution of the United States and its place within the world    during the last 170 years. For this assignment, you will develop a PowerPoint    presentation based on your Unit V Outline. The presentation should be    appropriate for an audience; in other words, it needs to be thoughtfully    organized, visually attractive, and clear in the message you are trying to    convey.
In the Unit V Outline, you chose an influential public figure working in    America from the mid-19th century to the present. Your selection did not have    to  be an American citizen, but you were not to choose a U.S. president. 
This presentation is not meant to be a biography. You should focus on    communicating the figures relevance in todays modern era and highlight how    society remembers him or her now. 
The presentation must be a minimum of 10 slides and should address the    concepts listed below.
Content

Introduce how your figure impacted a civil rights movement (including, but            not limited to, creed, race, age, status, or gender). Note: His or her          impact   may not necessarily be a positive one.

Identify how this figure is viewed on the national and/or world stage.                
Discuss how this figure may have influenced challenges and/or            opportunities for the United States as a global power (i.e., their            international impact).  

Provide a perspective on if this figures impact would have been seen as            progressive. 

Organization

The organization of the presentation should be based on the Unit V            Outline. Make sure that you utilize any feedback given on your outline.                

Ideas should be grouped together and transition smoothly.

Make use of the notes section in each slide in order to communicate your            thoughts and ideas. If you would prefer, audio voiceover can be utilized      in       place of slide notes.

Include a title slide (one slide), content slides (eight slides), and a            reference slide (one slide). 

Quality of Presentation

Creativity and effort are highly encouraged. PowerPoint provides several            options for developing an exciting presentation, including options for      both       audio and video components; however, customizing the method of      delivery for       the presentation is up to you.

Use images, graphics, smart art, and backgrounds that enhance your            presentation and make it look professional, clean, and visually            attractive.
