Retirement homes

Mr. Laub had a great suggestion in class today. If you're looking for someone to interview, consider going to a retirement home! A retirement home is full of people who have lived through the events you study in history class and many people there would be thrilled to tell you about this history.

For example you could ask someone questions about:

--Did you ever participate in Civil Rights (or anti-war) demonstrations?
--Did you participate in or do you know people who were in the Vietnam War (or Korean War)?
--What did you think of Dr. Martin Luther King in the 1960s? (or another person)
