What I did and what I learned about my topic, activism, social justice work or civil and human rights work from this fieldwork?:

At the UN we saw a lot of gifts from other countries that symbolize something important. My favorite gift was a gift from Russia. It was a moon rock which I found surprising, I did not think I would be seeing a rock from the moon in the UN. The moon rock symbolizes how Russia and the united states were in a race to go to the moon, which I found kinda funny that they put it in the United states. Another cool thing I learned and saw was something related to my social justice project. It was a timeline of all the different countries testing nuclear bombs in the cold war. I learned that the united states tested the most bombs out of all the countries being 1032 bombs between 1945 and 1992. 216 of those of the tested bombs were underwater and in space.
