Topic: Spanish-American War
The Spanish-American War is a crucial turning point in U.S. foreign policy. It marks the shift of the United States toward global influence and empire. As a result of the war, the U.S. gained the territories of Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines, and Cuba became a protectorate of the U.S.

Topic: Washington, Du Bois, and Garvey
For the classroom debate, there will be 4 groupings: 
  1. Booker T. Washington
  2. W.E.B. Du Bois
  3. Marcus Garvey
  4. Interviewers  

Groups 1-3 are responsible for reading the primary source related to their person, in order to analyze and apply their perspective. You are also responsible for looking up additional information, such as details about their background and context to support your argument(s). 

Interviewers, your job will be to ask questions and choose speakers, keeping the flow of the conversation going.  You must be familiar with the three men's ideas and have a general understanding of their arguments. https://www.crf-usa.org/brown-v-board-50th-anniversary/three-visions-for-african-americans.html 

The issue we are aiming to resolve is: 
  • Considering the social, economic and legal conditions of African Americans between 1865 and 1929, which ideas, aims, and tactics would be most effective in attaining civil rights? ​
