Making Your Pitch for Public History
Introduction
Public history is essential to educate the public about the past. It refers to a form of past events that take place outside the class (Cauvin, 2016). It includes oral history, monuments, preservation initiatives, exhibitions, museums, historical tours, performances and media, and a public-history app. I would propose a public-history app that contains past facts about fights against racism in the US. The app would include the prominent figures who began movements like the Civil War that changed the US forever, artifacts, and exhibitions representing each historical moment. The project begins with a proposal presented to the lecturer for approval and further directives. The team then visits the relevant offices for required permissions, funding, and pointers to begin the project. The programmers proceeded to build the back-end of the application as I and my partner museums, libraries, and exhibitions collected facts and relevant data for the project. After each phase, we visit the professor for corrections and recommendations before proceeding to the next phase. We then complete the project and present it to the relevant officials for approval. A public-history application would provide US citizens with a comprehensive information base about racism.

It will incorporate both the young and old community, given that both groups have passionate historians. Almost everyone can access the internet through smartphones, laptops, or iPad.

Besides, the project will address the needs of historians and adventure lovers in that it will provide factual information from historical books and citations. The audience will enjoy learning history and view any existent exhibitions directing them to visit the locations for further discoveries. The project will help the community quickly access and learn historical facts.
The project is built on various precedents and past artifacts. It has various pictures and chronological facts about the accomplishments of past racial fighters of the US. Some of the accomplishments are linked to honorable members of society who made remarkable changes in US history. For example, Martin L...
