I need to do a research project for U.S. History. We were given the lyrics to the song "We Didn't Start the Fire" by Billy Joel (1989). I chose my 10 topics to cover. They are:
1952- Rocky Marciano
1953- Roy Campanella
1955- Elvis Presley
1955- Disneyland Opening
1959- Mafia Origins
1960- "Psycho" the Movie
1961- The Bay of Pigs Invasion
1962- John Glenn
1964-1989- Watergate and Crack-Cocaine
I need a description about how these topics affect/effected U.S. History. Any help will be appreciated and I thank you in advance.
For extra credit, I need to interview somone who lived through at least 3 of the events listed from the 50's and 60's. Needed information is: Name, Age, Name of Event/Topic, how they learned of the event, what their feelings/reactions were, opinions of others around them, the topics effect on them/family/community/city. Once more, thanks in advance. If you can help me with the extra credit....please PM me. BTW, I need your permission for a whole transcript of the interview.
