Write a Literature review of what it means to be an American.
1. Algonquian Li, “Becoming an American;”
2. Malinda May now Lowery, “The Original Southerners;”
3. Vite Thanh Nguyen, “America, Say My Name;”
4. one short video from The Root, “How Redlining Shaped Black America as We Know It.”
With these sources, you will take an objective look at the experiences of these Americans and summarize, synthesize, and evaluate these sources. Find common themes and ideas, put those sources into conversation with one another, and evaluate their efficacy. Your Lit Review should be 1000-1250 words, and it should include quotes and paraphrases (and in-text citations). That means you will need to read the sources, find common themes and ideas, put those sources into conversation with one another, and evaluate their efficacy
