Assignment Advice was given to me: “Say something precise about the point you want to make. Dont report, describe, summarise. Assume a knowledgeable audience. You do not have to be controversial, but you can be. You do have to be analytical (that means make an argument for something). Avoid rhetorical flourishes (rhetorical questions, flowery turns of phrase). They tend to signal that you dont have an argument. Use simple and direct prose. Do not misuse words. As always, spelling, grammar, and punctuation matter. Commentary on any of the following: American intellectual tradition, the Black Panthers, Black Nationalism, Black Power. The nature of the transformations sought by any of the above, including MLKs own civil rights movement. Consider: what kind of economic, social, or political changes were sought. A precise point that connects any of the above with more recent events/groups/movement, e.g. BLM. States rights as conceptualised before the Civil War.
