RESPOND with the word BLUE in the title so I know you have read and understand the assignment.

Papers need to be on an African American History since 1877 topic from the time period in this course. No biographies, please.

• Students need to cite at least once every paragraph, to acknowledge an author's ideas. This is done even if there are no quotes, see Chicago guides or APA guides, for more information. If more than one author's ideas are used in a paragraph, then more than one citation needs to be used.

• Any quote needs a citation at the end of it.

• Use both footnotes or endnotes and a bibliography.

• Papers need an intro (with a thesis statement) and a conclusion.

• Papers need a title page.

Papers cannot be re-used from another class.

• Papers should be free of writing errors, there is help available at APUS for writing if you need it. Watch for grammar, typos, etc.

TOPIC IDEAS: Again, these are just ideas and all of these would have to be narrowed down.

1) What was the Harlem Renaissance and why was it important?

2) The importance of the church in the civil rights movement (tough topic to find good sources)

3) Why nonviolence did not work in Northern urban communities during the Civil Rights Movement.

4) The reputation of the Black Panther Party and an explanation of the real history behind the BPP.

5) How did world events impact the modern civil rights movement and organizations like SNCC and the slogan Black Power?

6) The struggle for voting rights in a certain locality

7) Jim Crow - ONE aspect of it - "Jim Crow" as a topic is too broad. You need to choose one aspect of that period of time to focus on. You can look at a specific court case, or a specific set of laws, or a particular group that was impacted, etc.

8) What was the Nation of Islam and how is it significant to the Black community?

9) What was the UNIA and how did it help or harm the black community?

10) What was SNCC? - develop a thesis statement about it.

This short paper is at least three double-spaced pages of text (Times New Roman, font size 12) and you must consult a **minimum of two academically credible sources**. Bibliographies and citations will be in the Chicago Manual of Style format or APA or MLA.

If you use any of the information from your sources word-for-word, you must cite the source by using endnotes or footnotes.** If you read the information and write it in your own words and it is not common knowledge, then you must cite the source because you are paraphrasing someone's information.

The short paper must include a cover page with your name, course number and course title, instructor's name, and date. You must also include a bibliography at the end of your paper. While composing your paper, use proper English. Do not use abbreviations, contractions, passive voice, or first/ second person (I, you, we, our, etc). Before submitting your paper, check your grammar and use spell check. Remember, the way you talk is not the way you write a paper. Please label your paper as follows: lastnamefirstnameHIST101ShortPaper (for example).

So, for example: you would start by laying out some of the most pertinent elements of the facts of the war. But, the "meat" of the paper would be your analysis - or your argument. This is a much different paper than simply stating statistics and a list of "who's who".
