Section A:

After reading the Howard Zinn Chapter, what are some of the most important ideas or events that took place in the 1990s? Are we still affected by any of these events today?

Please select 3 quotes you found interesting or strange about the Clinton Presidency from the Zinn Textbook and consider their importance to US history. Please write 1-2 fully developed paragraphs for EACH quote.

Section B:

Why was this trial considered the "Trial of the Century"? What contributed to this idea? How does the verdict represent the issue of race relations in America? (Is it true today?) Do you have any memories of the OJ Trial in the 90s? If so, has your perception of the events changed after watching this video? Do you know what ultimately happened to OJ Simpson since these events? Do you think justice was ultimately served? Why or why not?

Section C:

Okay, we cannot talk about the 1990s and not discuss the Clinton scandal with Monica Lewinsky. What did you think of Monica's most recent TedTalk in 2015? How do you think she perceives her experiences of the 1990s? Have your perceptions of the event changed, now that in today's society we have seen numerous sex scandals? Moving beyond the scandal itself, how do you think this event shaped our perceptions as American's today? Remember, this is an event which was used as a catalyst by the Republican Party to impeach Clinton for lying to the American people. Consider how these types of scandals are often used as a common tacit among political parties to try to discredit other candidates.
