Introduction
- Drawing of President Richard Nixon Holding Two Pandas
In 1972, President and Mrs. Nixon traveled to China for a weeklong visit. U.S. Presidents visit other countries frequently. Why is President Nixon's trip to China important?
Your class has been tasked with creating an exhibit exploring the following: what led up to President Nixon's trip to China?; what happened during the visit?; and what were the results of the trip? You will be provided with original documents, photographs, and sound recordings to analyze, organize, and explain.
The exhibit should provoke your audience to think, question, and seek further information.
