Description
By the middle of Module 2 (November 1), you will brainstorm possible historical figures you wish to research. You will submit three possible names that you may possibly research (of which you will pick only one to actually research).
And that is it for this assignment! No research up to that point required, but simply providing three possible names you wish to learn more about and argue was important.
Why do I do this? I know how easy it is to push off a topic until the last minute and ignore it when it is not due for weeks. And that procrastination can be your worst enemy! So, I have this assignment due early to make sure you have accomplished the first step in any research: picking a topic.
Now, you are not duty bound to research one of these persons if you wish to change. However, if you do want to change I need you to let me know by the end of Module 5.
Remember, your selection must be someone who made their major impact on U.S. history somewhere between the years 1890 and 1995. They must be an American citizen, and they cannot still be alive.
Here is the next step. So often, history focuses on major figures of politics (in particularly presidents) and has ignored other categories beyond politics. So, in (correspondence with Course Objective #2), the figure you must pick will need to be a person of color and/or a woman.
There are two notable exception to the above: Martin Luther King, Jr. and Rosa Parks Don’t get me wrong; I absolutely admire both of these amazing individuals (I would say without qualification that MLK is a personal hero of mine). However, that being said, there is so much already said about MLK and Rosa Parks that I want you to consider someone else beyond these hugely important people.
