My History? |
The Panama Canal has a long and colorful
history. On December 31, at 12:00 midnight, one chapter in
this history closes and another opens. As per the Panama
Canal Treaty, signed by American President Jimmy Carter and
Panama's head of state Omar Torrijos, full control of the
canal and all of its assets will be turned over to Panama.
This project will look at follow the last year as the turn
over progresses. We will be especially interested in what
the people, students and adults, are feeling and thinking as
this historical moment in history approaches. We will be
building a number of databases and plan to keep them on line
as an archival history of the event. Our plan is to also
publish the individuals thoughts, and feelings. Material
collected here will be considered "primary resources"
material in future years as in these databases will be the
thoughts and feelings of Panamanians, and citizens from the
United States and around the world.
