each student will write a comprehensive, analytical paper of approximately 2,000 words that evaluates how race and gender issues were portrayed in Black newspapers during the Second World War. These papers are due on Lesson 12.While having their roots in the 1800s, African American newspapers blossomed in major US cities during the early and mid-twentieth century. The Chicago Defender, for example, was founded in 1905 and included writings from the likes of Langston Hughes, Ida B. Wells, and Ethyl Payne. During the 1940s, these newspapers offered a unique view of the United States’ participation in a global war as the American home front was continuing its struggle with basic civil rights.Your paper, focusing on a specific Black newspaper—available via the Historical Newspaper Database through the university library—should consider the relationship between race and gender during a war that influenced a large portion of American society. In the paper, you will be expected to develop and successfully argue a historical thesis based on your analysis of these primary sources. You also will need to demonstrate your ability to evaluate secondary sources—at least five—and to understand your primary sources in the context of these broader historical works. Therefore, your paper should not merely recount what is in the newspapers, but explain and defend your thesis and then use your sources to establish the validity of the argument you are making.
