1.) Who were the Tuskegee Airmen and how did they contribute to WWII? Or -who were the Montford Point Marines and why are they significant? Please don’t choose either part of this question if you addressed it in week four’s military essays.
2.) Was A. Philip Randolph’s March on Washington movement successful? How did it relate to the Double V campaign?
3.) The Great Migration and the Negro Motorist Green Book are intricately related. What is the relationship there and what context can you offer for both?
4.) Paul Robeson is a fascinating figure. Many historians think that he is not widely studied or valued because his detractors made him out to be a controversial figure. What is your assessment? Were his stances communist or anti colonial? Was he an asset to civil rights?
