Dear writer, I will provide you with the specific writing requirements from my professor as well as the two readings you need to read. You only need to carefully follow the requirements and help me complete the task. Thank you. Readings:

Assignment:
During World War II, African Americans challenged Jim Crow at home and abroad. In four to five bullet points, identify some of the most important challenges to racial inequity that activists advanced during the World War II era. The points you list should be those that best embody protestors’ demand for the recognition of their rights as citizens. Each point should foreground a historically recognizable figure or organization in the subject of the sentence.
Note: This short assignment is designed to assess your basic comprehension of the week’s reading assignment. We want full well-crafted sentences and no more than three for each bullet point. Be sure to make specific references to persons, places, policies, etc. that give specificity to your analysis and enable you to craft your response succinctly. And feel free to add a simple citation (author, title, page no.) to which you can reference when you meet in discussion.
