I have never had to do an annotated bibliography before, so I was interested in this assignment because I like that we are getting the opportunity to explore Richmond’s Unhealed History in more detail. I found it hard to find an accessible source to bring to class so that did take longer than expected. I chose an excerpt about annexation because I think that was a significant topic and relates to Richmond now, so my thought is that there will be more secondary sources that relate to this one. The source I’m using is from The Politics of Annexation gives a more in-depth explanation of how the history of the city was affected by divisions.

I’d be interested to know what kind of obstacles you ran into that made it take longer than you thought!
