Explain the various ways that African Americans tried to expand their opportunities in America since Reconstruction and the obstacles they were confronted with.

You will have to write a three-page paper analyzing Charles W. Chesnutts The Marrow of Tradition. You are using Chesnutts book as a primary source to examine race in America. There is no specific prompt, but your paper should discuss race relations in the United States after Reconstruction. Think about how and why discrimination persisted after Reconstruction. Explain the various ways that African Americans tried to expand their opportunities in America since Reconstruction and the obstacles they were confronted with. Does the issues and problems that Chesnutt wrote about at the beginning of the 20th century still exist today? Students must develop their own thesis and use The Marrow of Tradition as primary source evidence to support your argument. Students can also incorporate other assigned readings in addition to Chesnutts work to support their thesis. No outside research is required or expected. Your focus should be on the materials assigned in the course. This is not a book report. Students must use the primary source documents in their paper to help support their argument. Papers must be typed, double-spaced with 12-point font (Times or Times New Roman) with 1-inch margins and three-pages in length. All sources must be properly cited in either MLA or Chicago Manual of Style. http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/11228/pg11228-images.html
