Select two prominent African American political thinkers  and write a short paper that discusses the individual’s biographical data, values, beliefs, and behavior that that shaped each person’s thinking as displayed in their speeches and writings about the complexities of race in the United States.

In particular, examine the thinkers’ conceptualization of the historical and contemporary forces contributing to their understanding of the causes and solutions, political and otherwise, for ameliorating the predicament of race, racism, and overcoming the status of an “out group” by African Americans.

What do these thinkers offer to inform us about black identify, political behavior, popular culture, and so forth that reflect the evolution of African American racial and political thought, including the appropriate approaches and strategies for grappling with the complex issues of African American economic and political development.

In addition, critically assess to what extent do your two thinkers offer useable contributions for current political actors to think about, act on, and strategize around in addressing contemporary concerns, issues, and/or strategies (provide illustrations or examples) in African American politics and public policy.
