n the second half of the semester, we covered the creation of the NAACP, African Americans in the World Wars, Tulsa, the Harlem Renaissance, The Nation of Islam, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and The Black Power Movement. These were all movements built around the idea of community and a fight for the struggle for that community. Each movement and the impactful leaders involved caused a significant change in American society but current events suggest that there is still work to be done. 
For this paper, I would like you to lean on history to predict how we can address some of the issues the African American community faces today.
Consider a conflict that the African American community faces or has faced in recent years. I’d like you to discuss, based on the movements we covered in class, what “change” would mean for addressing that conflict. Some examples of conflicts might be racial disparities in law enforcement, the Black Lives Matter movement, the impact of voter suppression on communities of color, or any other of your choosing.
You should seek to address the following questions: What does change look like in the context of the problem? How is the African American community affected by the problem? How can ‘community’ be built around the conflict and therefore cause change?
