Write a 2,000-2,500-word essay in response to the following prompt:
Choose three political, economic, or social factors that you believe were most significant in undermining civil rights for people of color during the 1950s and 1960s and craft an essay to support your argument. As you write, be sure to consider the factors’ historical backgrounds and analyze the extent to which those factors were challenged or changed during the Civil Rights Movement. Finally, be sure to provide specific, detailed examples to support your claims and offer a conclusion that contextualizes the topic in relation to broader themes or issues in American history.
You may refer to the course material for supporting evidence, but you must also use at least two primary and three secondary sources and cite them using Chicago Manual of Style (CMS) format. If you use any Study.com lessons as sources, please also cite them in CMS (including the lesson title and instructor’s name).
Primary sources are first-hand accounts such as interviews, advertisements, speeches, company documents, statements, and press releases published by the company in question.
Secondary sources come from peer-reviewed scholarly journals, such as the Journal of Management. You may use like JSTOR, Google Scholar, and Social Science Research Network to find articles from these journals. Secondary sources may also come from reputable websites with .gov, .edu, or .org in the domain. (Wikipedia is not a reputable source, though the sources listed in Wikipedia articles may be acceptable.)
