2. Find two articles for each topic chosen. In one large paragraph, take topic #1 and (a) summarize each of the two articles; (b) compare the two articles to each other; and (3) give a personal statement as to why this topic is important to African American history and culture in your eyes.
Do the same for topics #2–#4 in three additional large paragraphs.
Minimum size for each of the four paragraphs is one-half page.
3. The articles you select are to come from professional/scholarly journals and periodicals only – not popular magazines and newspapers.
