If you want something a little more offbeat and interesting that the usual civil rights movement, anti-slavery, womens sufferage, you could do something with Joeseph Lister and things like sterilization before operating being controversial!. Vaccination as well, was controversial when first introduced (and some still are today!.) You could look at the reaction to this in the USWww@QuestionHome@Com

if you are interested in sports then you could do a project about the Berlin Olympics and Jesse OwensWww@QuestionHome@Com

revolutionary war, women human's rights, boston massacre, great depression, world war I or IIWww@QuestionHome@Com

the Civil Rights Movement would be an obvious choice I thinkWww@QuestionHome@Com
