ENGL 1301: Exploring American Identities: Research Essay
Activists as Subjects
Here are some subjects for your research. Choose two, and choose at least one person with whom you are completely unfamiliar. Do preliminary research before you decide on your subjects. I will consider other activists, but they must fit the criteria (from the United States, historically underrepresented population, articles available in ACC database) and you need written permission.
