you will write a term paper on historical and contemporary experiences of African Americans, incorporating concepts and theories covered in class. The paper should be at least five pages in length; ideally, ten pages (double-spaced, twelve-pt font)…. The term paper is due may 4th (Notes: Late papers will face 50% deduction) In this term paper/essay, answer all of the following questions: 1.Under what conditions were African Americans brought to the U.S.? 2.What forms of mistreatment have African Americans experienced here? How do these forms of mistreatment connect with contemporary inequalities (e.g. wealth disparities between African Americans and whites)? 3.How would Pettigrew’s (1979) theory of the “ultimate attribution error” apply to African Americans? 4.How did the Civil Rights movement improve conditions for African Americans? In your answers, please be sure to integrate, synthesize, and apply knowledge of difference and equity. Specs: As above, the paper should be at least five pages in length; ideally, ten pages (double-spaced, 12-pt font). Please include references to any outside material (including Pettigrew’s 1979 work). Please use headings in your paper to organize the sections listed above. Don’t forget to write an introduction and conclusion! Make sure to use proper formatting, citations, spelling, grammar, etc. and cover each question to receive full credit. Please upload your paper as a Word document! I’ve had issues opening reaction papers saved as Google doc files and I don’t want that to cause issues/ delays in grading the final paper.
