The Great Depression (1929)- The stock market crashed and "among the factors contributing to the crash were a trade imbalance following World War I, where the United States was exporting more than it was importing to nations that could not pay; an unregulated stock market; a weak banking system; growing government expenditures; overproduction in both the industrial and agricultural sectors; and growing unemployment" (Webb, section 7.1, 2014). This impacted man people; public schools, colleges, and teachers.

The Civilian Conservation Corps (1930s)- "one of the federal emergency agencies created under Roosevelt's New Deal to provide "work relief" for the unemployed. It provided temporary work for over 3 million young men aged 18 to 25, who lived in CCC camps and worked on various conservation projects like reforestation, wildlife preservation, flood control, and forest fire prevention (Webb, section 7.3, 2014). About 150,000 African American children were enrolled in 150 CCC companies and 85,000 Native Americans in a separate company.

Public Works Administration (1933)- funded large-scale projects such as bridges, dams, hospitals, airports, libraries, and 7,500 schools that were built between 1933 and 1939. Webb (2014) Stated that "$1.7 billion in federal funds (with $300 million state and local matching funds) provided for the building of 102 public libraries and 59,614 classrooms between the years 1934-1939. Fourteen percent of all PWA funds were spent on school buildings, including the building of 225 Negro schools and the renovation of 118 others."

The Civil Rights Movement (1955)- was a movement that started with African Americans, but later advanced to rights of women, ethnic and racial groups, and people with disabilities. The goal was to secure the individual rights that are guaranteed by the US Constitution.

Indian Education Act (1972)- "The IEA provided funds for supplemental programs to meet the special needs of Native American children in public schools both on and off the reservation (Webb, section 8.5, 2014).

I chose to do the difference and similarities of The Civilian Conservation Corps and the Indian Education Act.

These two are significant today because they are still they are still in order.

If I could change one outcome, it would be the Great Depression because when the market crashed, people lost money, jobs were low pay, and people were starving and becoming homeless.

The most important event that happened in each event is that if it wasn't for these movements taking place, we would not have equalization in our education where it is needed.
