Getting Organized

After everything I got done last year I feel like I still need more information to answer my foundation question. Racial profiling is a big topic which there are many questions to it and answers. There is many information needed to know when doing research on a topic like this. So far since first day of school I have been organizing all of my work together, and looking over some of last years work to refresh my mind. I started looking at my interview questions and fixed them up a little also adding more. Hopefully soon I would interview Harvard law proffesor Charles Ogletree who has experience in many racial profiling cases. Another thing I worked on was getting some quotes and images that would help later when I start making my powerpoint. For next week, I would start working towards my outline to make it final.
