Directions: Use the primary documents assigned for class to support the claims you make while answering the following questions.
How students organize their answers is open to them, but they should be able to account for the context, trigger, and aftermath of the three Harlem riots we studied.
More points will be awarded to students who incorporate more documents, and who make original connections in their analysis of the riots.
1. What were the unique circumstances and common causes of the 1935, 1943, and 1964 Harlem Riots?
2. What are the conceptual, historical, thematic, and/or special connections between the Harlem riots and previous riots we've discussed, read about, and written about in this class (both fictional and real)?
