Why did you choose these human rights? Explain in significant detail what this human right means to you and how it impacts your life and others.
- Sports have always been a place where barriers have been broken. Explain how athletes have had an impact on Civil Rights. You must use Jesse Owens and Tommie Smith & John Carlos’ example in your explanation. You may use other athletes as well.

- Is it appropriate for professional or college athletes and/or movie stars, and/or professional sports organizations to make political statements.
