American Government: Segregation

Your job is to locate, save, and analyze a variety of primary sources related to segregation and life in the U.S. South from around the years 1896 - 1954. These are what you must find:

* Political cartoons depicting life for blacks
* Newspaper article
* Journal entry
* Audio recording
* An actual law (state or federal) dealing with this issue
* Interview
* Lyrics to a song
* 5 Photos

Save all your materials on the American Government folder on the Student Project Drive
