Problem:
In recent decades, scholars of Black American history and culture have challenged the dominant, popular narrative of a largely unified "civil rights movement" that began in the 1950s, centered around the work of Martin Luther King, Jr., and quickly ended following his death in 1968. Pick three of the following and explain, using specific examples, how each demonstrates the limitations of the dominant, popular narrative: the creation of Sierra Leone as presented in Rough Crossings, the work of both Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Dubois, the radical activism of both Stokely Carmichael and Malcolm X, and the recent reform advocacy of both the Black Lives Matter Global Network and the 1619 Project.
