Annoitated Bibliography on The effects the black church had on African Americans back then and today.

Historians base their writing of history on a variety of sources, many of which fall under the label of documents. Primary documents include official records, letters, diaries, newspaper articles, photos, posters, cartoons, music, and visual art. Historians also utilize materials to write history from secondary sources, such as books, articles, and Web sites about historical topics.

Students will write a multi-page annotated bibliography. This assignment will list and describe a minimum of 12 primary and secondary sources, with specific requirements detailed below, that the student may use in his or her finished paper. You may NOT use encyclopedias or the text books as sources. ALL OF YOUR SOURCES SHOULD BE USED IN YOUR PAPER!

The annotated bibliography should involve a variety of primary and secondary sources, including two full-length books from reputable academic presses, two primary sources, and articles from at least two scholarly, academic journals; it should not include encyclopedias, dictionaries, or non-professional websites. Each annotation should include a full, properly-formatted Chicago citation and one to two complete paragraphs explaining the basic argument the work makes and the type of evidence used to prove the thesis. If it is not acceptable, you will be allowed to rewrite it. Here are 3 web sites that will be of help to you.
