Assignment Due September 28 and October 1

Due Friday 9/28 by Midnight

Select a single primary source document from your previous post (it cannot be a newspaper article). Remember: you’re looking for a document that can tell us something about the role of cultural conflict in the 1968 presidential election.
Embed the document in a new post, either as an image file or as partial quote, with a link to the original source in the database. Read the following closely.
Answer the following questions as briefly as possible:
- Who created the artifact?
- When was the artifact created?
- Where was it created?
- Why was the document created?
- Why is the document a primary source?
- How trustworthy is the source?
- What other questions might you ask of the source in order to better understand what it reveals about the events of 1968?
Then, write (at the end of that post) between 250-500 words that answer the following questions:
- If you were going to be constructing an argument about the relationship between the cultural conflict embodied by the artifact you’re presenting and the 1968 election, what other artifacts would you look for? How might you go about finding them? What other background reading would you need to do? What other questions would you ask?
