Description
1) To begin, read The Souls of Black Folk by W. E. B. Du Bois. This book is read in African American history courses across the nation. It is as relevant today as when he wrote the essays.
2.) Choose one of the following lectures to watch:
Professor Chester Fontenot on the “Life and Legacy of Booker T. Washington.” He posits that Washington is the greatest African American leader of all time. Note that there is at least one serious historical error. Martin Luther King, Jr. is not the first person to declare that war is wrong. I am a contemporary historian and I know that at the end of the nineteenth century a Persian religious leader discussed that in-depth. Professor Maurice Jackson on the philosophy of W. E. B. Du Bois. If you are unable to access C-SPAN to view either of the videos here are some other options:

Sample Solution
John Wayne Gacy’s history of sexual and psychological mistreatment was instrumental in provoking agent’s curiosity of him as a suspect. John Wayne Gacy was conceived on March 17, 1942, in Chicago, Illinois. Being the main child out of three kids, Gacy had a stressed relationship with his dad, who drank intensely and was regularly injurious towards the whole family (Sullivan and Maiken 48). In 1949, a contractual worker, who was a family companion, would stroke Gacy during rides in his truck; in any case, Gacy never uncovered these experiences to his folks inspired by a paranoid fear of revenge from his dad (Foreman 54). His dad’s mental maltreatment proceeded into his young grown-up years, and Gacy moved to Las Vegas where he worked quickly in the emergency vehicle administration before turning into a morgue chaperon (Sullivan and Maiken 50). As a funeral home orderly, Gacy was vigorously associated with the treating procedure and conceded that one night, he moved into the casket of an expired young kid and stroked the body (Cahill and Ewing 46). Stunned at himself, Gacy comes back to Chicago to live with his family and graduates from Northwestern Business College in 1963, and acknowledges an administration student position with Nunn-Bush Shoe Company. In 1964, Gacy is moved to Springfield and meets his future spouse, Marlynn Myers. In Springfield, Gacy has his subsequent gay experience when a colleague shakily performed oral sex on him (London 11:7). Gacy moves to Waterloo, Iowa, and starts a family with Myers. Be that as it may, after consistently undermining his significant other with whores, Gacy submits his originally known rape in 1967 upon Donald Vorhees. In the coming months, Gacy explicitly manhandles a few different young people and is captured and accused of oral homosexuality (Sullivan and Maiken 60). On December 3, 1968, Gacy is indicted and condemned to ten years at the Anamosa State Penitentiary. Gacy turns into a model detainee at Anamosa and is conceded parole in June of 1970, an insignificant year and a half after his condemning. He had to move to Chicago and live with his mom and watch a 10:00PM time limit. Not exactly a year later, Gacy is accused again of explicitly ambushing a high school kid yet the young didn’t show up in court, so the charges were dropped. Gacy was known by numerous individuals in his locale to be an enthusiastic volunteer and being dynamic in network legislative issues. His job as “Pogo the Clown” the jokester started in 1975 when Gacy joined a neighborhood “Buoyant Joker” comedian club that consistently performed at raising money occasions. On January 3, 1972, Gacy submits his first homicide of Timothy McCoy, a 16-year old kid making a trip from Michigan to Omaha. Asserting that McCoy went into his room using a kitchen blade, Gacy gets into a physical fight with McCoy before cutting him more than once in the chest. In the wake of understanding that McCoy had absentmindedly strolled into the live with the blade while attempting to get ready breakfast, Gacy covers the body in his creep space. Gacy conceded in the meetings following his capture that executing McCoy gave him a “mind-desensitizing climax”, expressing that this homicide was the point at which he “understood passing was a definitive rush” (Cahill and Ewing 349). Right around 2 years after the fact, Gacy submits his second homicide of a unidentified adolescent. Gacy choked the kid before stuffing the body in his storage room before covering him (Cahill 349). In 1975, Gacy’s business was developing rapidly and his craving for youngsters developed with it. Gacy frequently baited youngsters under his work to his home, persuading them to place themselves in binds, and assaulting and tormenting them before choking them (Cahill 169-170). The greater part of Gacy’s homicides occurred somewhere in the range of 1976 and 1978, the first of this time occurring in April 1976. A large number of the young people that were killed during this time were covered in a creep space under Gacy’s home. For the rest of the killings, Gacy confessed to losing five bodies the I-55 extension into the Des Plaines River; be that as it may, just four of the bodies were ever recuperated (Linedecker 152). In December 1978, Gacy meets Robert Jerome Piest, a 15-year old kid working at a drug store and extends to him an employment opportunity at Gacy’s firm. Piest educates his mom regarding this and neglects to restore that night. The Piest family records a missing individual’s report and the drug specialist advises police that Gacy would doubtlessly be the man that Jerome addressed about a vocation. When addressed by the police, Gacy denied any inclusion in Piest’s vanishing. Be that as it may, the police were not persuaded, and Gacy’s history of sexual maltreatment and battery incited the police to look through his home. Among the things found at Gacy’s home were a 1975 secondary school class ring with the initials J.A.S., different driver’s licenses, binds, garments that was unreasonably little for Gacy, and a receipt for the drug store that Piest had worked at. Throughout the following not many days, agents got different calls and tips about Gacy’s rapes and the strange vanishings of Gacy’s representatives. The class ring was inevitably followed back to John A. Szyc, one of Gacy’s exploited people in 1977. Futhermore, after analyzing Gacy’s vehicle, specialists found a little bunch of filaments taking after human hair, which were sent to the labs for additional investigation. That equivalent night, search hounds were utilized to distinguish any hint of Piest in Gacy’s vehicle, and one of the mutts showed that Piest had, truth be told, been available in the vehicle.>
