fourth graders coming up are
always asking us, 'Are we
doing the Living Museum?"'
While it is intended to be
a fun activity for the stu
dents. the Living, Museum is
also meant to make them
think. Delgado says,
"We wanted a Way that
we could let them know
about the impact that differ
ent people had had." she
related. "...We want them to
just be inspired: we want
them to walk away and say
. . So many people have
made a difference (in this
country *, and we can too. "
Zachary Hawkins said
the project is something he
has looked forward to for
some time.
'It was fun. I enjoyed
doing this, and I really want
to do it again next year, but 1
can't:" related Haw kins,
whose large, curled mus
tache completed his Orville
Wright costume. "The best
thing is that you get to learn
the history of a lot of people,
instead of just one."
