Assignment Overview

Remember that your essay should be clearly argued, strongly supported, and neatly organized. Organize your essay with an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Include ample evidence from the course material (readings, lectures, and discussions) to support your answers. Essays should run 2-4 pages long (no less than 2 full pages), and be composed in Times New Roman in 12 point font.

Be sure to respond to every part of the question:

The struggle for racial equality has remained long and arduous, but as African Americans made achievements through the 1800s and 1900s, they set out more goals toward racial equality. Discuss the similarities and differences between the demands made by Frederick Douglass, in “What, to the Slave, Is the Fourth of July?” (1852), the demands made by Martin Luther King, Jr., in “I Have a Dream” (1963), and Jesse Jackson, in “Speech at the Democratic National Convention” (1984), more than a century later. What were they particularly arguing for? In what ways did they make their arguments? Now, several decades after King and Jackson gave their speeches, in what ways has the United States achieved those goals? In what ways have those goals fallen short?
