Using material from the Ohio History Center Archives/Library, students will dig deeper and use a variety of primary sources and secondary sources to investigate topics related to this year’s History Day theme, Rights and Responsibilities in History. Topics may include the Ohio Statehood, Women's Suffrage and the Cuyahoga River Fire of 1969.

Your first task as a History Detective is to think carefully about what "right” and "responsibility" really mean. Consider how rights and responsibilities influence one another. As you look at the sources, use your detective skills to answer questions like: What right do I see? What responsibility do I see? How to they relate to one another? What impact do they have on history?
