History Discussion
Discuss the development of the Black Freedom Struggle. What were some key moments and people? Who does the documentary focus on? What is the argument in the King or Malcolm X sources? Who are they appealing to? In the secondary source material, Dagbovie and Joseph discuss two figures involved in the self-defense wing of the Black Freedom Struggle. How does self-defense emerge? How does it figure in Williams or Carmichael's lives?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
