Is it acceptable to consider Tyra Banks or Tina Turner in a Black History Month essay contest?

Absolutely! Although if I might make a recommendation:

Tyra Banks has really furthered herself along in her career and has been giving back consistently since becoming a model. She has a camp devoted to teaching self esteem to teenage girls called "T-Zone". I think all around, Tyra Banks would be a wonderful African American to do an essay on for Black History Month

Cheers and good luck!

History Essay Question #1?

Hi Danielle,

I think the question is only referring to "In the urban industrial world, different groups of people had different conceptions of freedom." You have defend this statement. You have to point out the possible reasons why the statement is said to be true and adequate. In the succeeding line of your statement you have to point out some scenarios in the American freedom that have been changing which may have been contested/questioned.
