NATIONAL HISTORY DAY AWARDS!!! Two KM students won the bronze medal at an international history competition at the University of Maryland. Krin B. and Emma M., both of HS^2, earned this distinction with their documentary, "The Repeal of the Fairness Doctrine: An Irreversible Turning Point in American Media," arguing that the 1987 repeal of the Fairness Doctrine was a pivotal event in American media. The doctrine had been the subject of national debates about its constitutionality, and its repeal marked a significant shift allowing media to become unregulated and manipulated by outside interests. They earned top honors from a group of nearly 500,000 students from multiple continents, with 2,500 students advancing to the national level. Avery G. and Faye M., of KMMS won the state competition in the junior group documentary category in April with their documentary, "Bruce Springsteen's Historic Concert in East Berlin on July 19, 1988." They claimed that this concert was a significant catalyst for cultural and societal rebellion, contributing to the collapse of the Berlin Wall. It was one of several turning points that toppled a government, ended the Cold War, and transformed the global landscape. NHS involves presenting a process paper, bibliography, documentaries and being interviewed by a panel of judges, including professors, historians, and legislators. This completes a year-long project for these students. Mational History Day is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year!
