Hello Fellows!<\/p>\n

Thanks for a great class with Dr. Sackley today. As you remember, she left us with a mini-assignment: to think about how we might turn the enormous amount of information that exists on The Great Migration into a research project and paper.<\/p>\n

(Obviously, this will be a very useful exercise as you think about how you’re going to narrow and focus the projects you’ll be working on this summer …)<\/p>\n

After you’ve read the second half of the documents for Tuesday’s class (the link to the specifically assigned readings\/pages can be found here<\/strong><\/a> — scroll down to February 14th and 19th), please do the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Think of a particular person, event, theme, or question that you might make an effective research topic.<\/li>\n
  2. Write it up in a sentence or two.<\/li>\n
  3. Using the Historical Newspapers<\/strong><\/a> database and the archive of The Crisis<\/strong><\/a>, find one or two sources that you might use in. Read those sources to make sure that they will be useful and then a copy that we can look at in class.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I look forward to seeing what you come up with.\"Next!\"<\/p>\n

    Have a great weekend!<\/p>\n
