Every year, the National History Day centers student research around a theme in order to narrow one's focus and increase understanding as a whole. This year's theme is Leadership and Legacy in History, so in turn, the purpose of this project is to explore and analyze the leadership and legacy of an influential historical figure, Amelia Earhart.
