Imani Washington Capstone

Posted by Imani Washington in Capstone on
Capstone Project
​My senior capstone was to have a deeper understanding of the term gentrification. I was interested in finding out more about this topic because gentrification is something that is taking place in my neighborhood constantly and rapidly. I have lived in my current neighborhood all of my life and the changes due to gentrification amaze me. My goal of this project was for me to have a deeper understanding of gentrification and how it affects people in my community. I did my own research on the topic  as well as interviewing people that are involved in my community to hear their pitches on the issue and what they want to do to solve it .   My capstone will fall under the performance projects since I am creating a presentation along with videos and pictures to go along with it.  My project helped achieve my learning goal because I obtained information by doing research and finding statistics as well as conducting interviews in my community. The core values fit into my project because I will used inquiry when I asked questions while conducting my interviews. Research fits into my project because I researched facts and statistics on gentrification in my community and why it is happening. Collaboration fits into my project because other people be helped me create my project by being in my videos.  Reflection fits into my project because I assessed my learning and findings and related it back to my learning goals.  Presentation fits into my project because I will have to showcase my documentary.  

Tower Garden Photo Journal

Posted by Imani Washington in Environmental Science · Aziz · E on
Doing this project opened my eyes to different types of gardening. I wasn't aware that there were different types of gardening methods other than traditional gardening until now. Using a tower garden is environmentally just and it helps tackle the issue of food insecurity. People who live in environments where they may not have the resources to get food could start growing their own food. Based on the ted talks we watched in class gardening has had many benefits for people all over. Tower gardens can also help solve the problem of  growing in harsh weather. 
​
We made our video to inform people and give them a deeper knowledge about what's going on around them. Our topic of focus was air pollution. I contributed to our group by writing lines for our script and recording my various parts throughout the video. I think the most meaningful part of the project was being able to use our voices to spread awareness throughout the community.


Instructional Video

Posted by Imani Washington in TECH (INTRO TO DESIGN MULTIMEDIA) - Hertz - d2 on
I used lucidpress . I decided to use lucidpress because it is an easy tool to use and I have used lucidpress for a couple projects this year. Throughout this video you will see me explaining how to sign up for lucid press and to link your email account to the website in order for you to create your project. You have the options to make a flyer, postcard or a blank document where you can create whatever you want with it. I chose to present a flyer and showed the different ways you can customize it to make it your own. 

Spiral of Theodorus

Posted by Imani Washington in ART ADV - Hertz - d1 on
When I created the Spiral of Theodorus it required me to use a protractor to measure for the angles and the different sizes of the triangles. You use the protractor to make sure all your triangles measure to be exactly 90 degrees. Each triangle is supposed to be 1 inch apart. For the math component of this project I used the Pythagorean theorem to check that my triangles were accurate.

My project is a video with pictures and text about my life and goals for the future. I learned how to use a new online application. The challenges I ran into where editing my project. I am most proud that I got to create something that was actually meaningful to me. I would add more to my project if I could do it over.

Abstract


My grandmother Cynthia Washington reflects on how it was to be African American during the Civil Rights Movement time period. She shared her knowledge and outlooks on topics pertaining to discrimination against blacks and her outlook on race and how it ties into society. She begins the conversation talking about how she attended a segregated school and then later moves into her perception of race and events/ things that were occurring when the Civil Rights movement took place. She wraps up the interview with her thoughts on what was going on in the schools at the time and how whites were offered a much better education than blacks were.


Research

Topic: How was the education offered to blacks during the Civil Rights Movement different than the education that was offered to the whites?


In most places the blacks lived in some of the poorest places and neighborhoods with some of the worst schools/ facilities. The teachers had the worst paid jobs so therefore they couldn’t afford some of the common schools/ facilities.

That they did was symbolic that they had the worst paid jobs that could only afford the most basic of facilities. The worst financed schools were most of the ones that were separated. Meaning they were segregated. This information can tie into what my grandmother told me in the interview because she said the schools didn’t have a lot of money and most times they didn’t have enough supplies to educate the students at all times.

I didn't get to have a face to face conversation with my interviewee so I don't have an audio file. I did however have a phone interview with my person and wrote down their answers to my questions.

Conversation

ME- Hi grandma, how are you doing today?

GRANDMA- I'm doing good Imani, how about you?

ME- I'm fine, I called to see if you could answer some questions about life during the Civil rights Movement time.

GRANDMA- Sure, I'll answer some questions.

ME- Ok I have 10 questions for you

GRANDMA- Ok

ME- Did you attend a segregated school?

GRANDMA- Yes

ME- Did you ever get attacked by a group of white people? Either by their words or violent actions?

GRANDMA- I had never gotten physically attacked by any whites but every now and then there  would be whites that would say rude racial slurs and remarks to me

ME- How has your perception of race changed from then and now?

GRANDMA- I see race in a way different limelight then I did back then. Back then I didn't feel that race was a good things. Simply because of the fact that me and my people were getting discriminated against. I didn't feel like whites and blacks were equal in anyway. A lot of things were unfair to me. A lot of things also didn't sit right with me. Now we're in a whole nother day in age where these aren't the circumstances anymore. I feel the exact opposite on how I felt before.

ME- What specific things do you remember from when the Civil Rights Movement took place?

GRANDMA- There was a lot of protesting going on and a lot of violent outbreaks.

ME- How do you see the role of race in society?

GRANDMA- I feel and think that race plays a huge role in society. For example believe it or not sometimes race can play into what kind of a job you can get how much money people decide you earn etc.

ME- Did you feel like a minority during these times?

GRANDMA- Yes i did, like I stated before I just felt like a lot of things were unfair.

ME- Did you ever feel like you weren't safe since whites were so prejudice against blacks?

GRANDMA- At times I would feel unsafe especially because of the things you would see on tv and in the newspapers about violence going on in other places.

ME- What were some things you observed pertaining to discrimination?

GRANDMA- I would see and hear whites making racial comments and other offensive things to blacks.

ME- What took place/ what was going on in schools during these times?

GRANDMA- In the black schools a lot of changes were taking place. We didn't have everything that we needed at all times to be educated properly. Such as the school not having enough supplies and books for kids... etc

ME- Did you feel like you got the same education that whites had/ were offered. Why or why not?

GRANDMA- No because we didn't have as  good of a quality education that they were offered. Like I said before sometimes we didn't even have enough materials for everybody to learn.
