Assignment 2: Thinking Critically About Your Historical Topic
HIS110
Step 1: Knowledge
Research question: What lessons from African Americans’ struggles for equality in the past
can help inform current and future civil rights issues?
What are some focused questions that will help you find the information you need in your
sources?
How did America come to sign the emancipation proclamation?
What events took place to begin our fight for equality after the freedom of slaves?
How did the movement for equality spike the attention of congress in the 1960's?
How are African Americans currently dealing with inequality today?
Step 2: Comprehension
What have you learned from your primary sources about the historical challenges or social
changes that relate to your research question?
From my primary sources, I learn that African Americans are still being discriminated against.
The struggles that African Americans were dealing with in 1963 are the same struggles that they
are currently dealing with. Admittingly so, socially that is, America has progressed
significantly. In 1963 there were still separate bathrooms, water fountains, smoking areas,
churches etc. However, although socially Americans have progressed there is still a lot of room
for improvement as mentioned in my second primary source BLM.
What have you learned from your primary sources about how these challenges were
addressed by society or how these changes affected society?
I learned from my primary sources that these challenges were addressed by speeches, marches,
and meetings with congress and other parties of the government. This has affected society by
forming alliances with one another to combat discrimination. There has been a lot of progress
since 1963, however there are still a lot of people who do not agree that all Americans deserve
the same rights.
How does the information you learned from your primary sources connect to the current
issues mentioned in your research question?
I learned information from my primary sources that these issues were addressed in very similar
ways although there was a time difference. Between the years of 1963 through 2020; activist,
congress, doctors, caucasians, minorities, in a whole (American's) have came together and with
similar beliefs in mind, stood up for one another. They continue to challenge the Government in
the fight for equality.
, What are some pieces of evidence (like facts or examples) from your secondary sources that
support what you’ve learned from your primary sources?
Both secondary sources support the fact that African Americans have been struggling for equality
and continuously are being discriminated against due to racism. In 1955 there was a boycott
called "The Montgomery Bus Boycott". "This boycott was born after Rosa Parks was arrested for
refusing to give up her seat on a bus in Montgomery, Ala., to a white male passenger. The next
day, Dec. 1, 1955, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. proposed a citywide boycott against racial
segregation on the public transportation system. African Americans stopped using the system and
would walk or get rides instead. The boycott continued for 381 days and was very effective. In
June 1956, a federal court ruled that the laws in place to keep buses segregated were
unconstitutional, and the U.S. Supreme Court eventually agreed. The Montgomery bus boycott
was one of the first major movements that initiated social change during the civil rights
movement." - Cheryl Bond-Nelms. February 9, 2018. Boycotts, Movements, and Marches. One
of the main things I have learned from my primary sources is that African Americans rose
together using different strategies to fight against inequality. This is a perfect example of that.
What evidence (like facts, data, or examples) is missing from your secondary sources—
what else would you still like to learn about your topic that these sources didn’t tell you?
These secondary sources are weak in connecting the history of African Americans struggles as it
correlates with today's society. I would have liked to learn about the connections between the
Rosa Parks and the Trayvon Martin. In other words, I would like to know how African
Americans have progressed as a nation and as a community with their fight against inequality.
Exactly what actions are taken place and how does history support the possible outcomes?
Step 3: Application
What connections or similarities do you see among your sources? Consider aspects like
their time period, the type of information they contain, and the perspective they offer on
events.
Both secondary sources are written by what we would consider to be exceptional reputable
sources that are experts in the field of African American struggles. They are both based in the
same time period of the 1900's. They contained information about the fight against equality
including their methods such as boycotts, marches, speeches, and meeting. Both set examples of
specific events that took place and how they were handled. They focus on how resilient African
Americans are by not giving up the fight and continuously moving forward in this revolution.
My primary sources, although from different times, reflect the same acts of violence and
repercussions solely based on racism. All sources however, do compliment each other and
together paints a clear picture of African American struggles as it relates to history and current
times.
