For two weeks in the summer, Civitas hires interns to go on a deep dive of a topic. This year, our interns learned a lot about the 1960s, with a focus on the Presidential administrations of Kennedy and Johnson. They were also asked to complete two major assignments: write an article for the Civitas Examiner and to deliver a 10 minute presentation. Here are some of their presentations.
