“‘No Negroes Allowed’: Segregation at the Front in World War I

Note: You’ll see repeated use of the words “colored” and “negro” These were acceptable terms in 1920 (because they had replaced far worse words), but we don’t use them anymore because of their association with segregation. Use black or African American unless it’s in a quotation from a primary source.

Do not use outside sources. Use only the textbook, online course materials, and the document to complete the assignment.

Specifics:

Papers should be 600-800 words (which usually works out to 2-3 pages) double-spaced in 12- point font with one-inch margins. These are not research papers; you only need the course materials to complete the assignment.

The chapter the teacher is refering to is chapter 19 of “Give Me Liberty! An American Story (Vol. 2)” by Eric Foner
