Race Riots
I have chosen to take a more in depth look into race riots in D.C, which essentially will mean this will be my topic for the project. I would really like to use the library of congress for most of my primary sources. It is a great source for pictures of the riots and i think that would be an invaluable source. JSTOR is a really good source for secondary sources, and could use that to supplement the pictures as it would add detail and back story. My main keywords are DC race riots, race riots 1960’s, and race riots. I think going to the library would be really good to find some tangible sources as well. The librarians would be a big help to me. I imagine they could especially help me look through the newspapers they have on file that are shrunk down on those little cards. Not only that, but the library in general has a lot of books has a lot of great books on the history of Washington D.C.
