I’ve never had to do any assignments in Chicago style so I was a little nervous, but after reading the format and example link I’m confident that it will be doable. All of my previous teachers have been extremely strict in terms of MLA format so getting used to Chicago format will be an adjustment. I ended up looking up a few other examples on Google which was very beneficial.

I didn’t have a problem finding something in the book that I wanted to learn about, so picking my source was easy. I wanted to learn more about those who were very vocally opposed to integration in schools. On page 162, the quote “…dedicate our every capacity to preserve segregation in the schools” stuck out to me. I knew that people were against integrating schools but I never read about politicians being so openly against it. The source I’m using is The Color of Their Skin by Richard Pratt. The chapter this quote is included in is titled “A Shameful Legacy”, and this is the perfect way to capture what the pages before and after the quote is about. The source is about Brown v. The Board of Education and the effects it had on politics. It also mentions how adamantly some Southerners fought against integration in schools.
