History Assignment/Paper
This assignment is due tomorrow by 10 PM Eastern Time. Once this assignment is complete and I receive feedback I will forward that to you to complete the final paper. Please choose whatever topic best suits you but I would prefer African American as I had already mentioned in a previous assingment that my paper would be on that topic. No Plagarism. I was referred to you so I am hoping you are the best at what you do and take pride in not plagarising.
