Term Paper Question

In 8 -10 pages, you will evaluate and expand on the research conducted for the annotated bibliography on the history of the African American population in your destination/receiver city. You should use the outline previously submitted as a frame; however, changes are permissible. You will answer questions including but not limited to, what years did the African American population begin to expand in the city? Where did the Black population migrate from? What industries and organizations were most attractive to the city’s growing Black community? In what ways did the city’s urban and suburban policies impact the expanding community? Did the policy have impact outside of the African American community? What, if any, were other contributing factors impacting the community? Have there been changes in policy and/or political leadership in the city that have affected the African American community especially? Has the condition of the community stayed the same, grown better or worse? Has there been any recent media coverage of your city? The paper should incorporate themes and concepts discussed in the course. You can use no more than two sources provided by the instructor, in addition to those gathered in the Annotated Bibliography. The paper must be in APA format. See course calendar for due date details.
