Final Paper- 50%
From your interpretations and original insights gained from class assignments, lectures, and seminars, and current events respond to the following writing prompt:

By 1967, federal legislation was passed to eradicate de jure discrimination in the United States. Still, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. posed a question that suggested more work needed to be done to achieve racial equality. That year, he published a book titled Where do we go from here?:

Chaos or Community in one of his final acts of civil rights leadership before his assassination. Over a half a century later, King’s question remains relevant. Or does it? How would you answer this question?

Based on the historical context, discussions, ideas gained from course content, current events, and your own personal insights, compose a sincere reflection that addresses the direction in which you believe the United States is headed- chaos or community- and the action(s), if any, the nation must take in order to best exemplify principles of equity and justice for people of all racial, cultural, social, gender, and economic backgrounds.
