Military history essay

This essay must be at least 300 words. Post your essay as early as possible so students have time to respond. They are both graded with the essay grading rubric. Therefore, do not use your textbook or an encyclopedia. Research in the library or from the course bibliography. You must cite and use at least one academic source. You may research on the internet, but if you do, you must use credible sources only (Wikipedia, About.com, blogs etc are not credible sources, for example).  The following links can help you determine which sources are credible or non-credible during your research: Credible vs non-credible sources, Getting Started With Research, Why I Shouldn't Use Wikipedia and Identifying your Resources.

Remember that this is a formal essay of at least 300 words and you need an introduction (with a thesis statement), body, and conclusion.

Tell the class the history of this person(s) as it relates to African American Military History and remember to cite where you found your information.

Pick wisely!!!..These are first come, first serve. Points will be deducted for repeating material already covered and you must label your forum heading with the key figure’s name or group's name.

 ***You can label your heading prior to writing your forum response- go back after you label your post and edit it to add the information. This way you can claim the person before someone else does. An example of Forum heading title is: Retired 4-star General Colin Powell.
