I need some more ideas for my term paper. My working thesis is "The protest music of the 1960s civil rights movement unified the black community." I don't know if what I have will come out to 10 pages. This is my informal outline:
1. Intro: Protest music as a global phenomenon, thesis statement
2: Background information about the civil rights movements
3: Songs, their meanings
4. Singers and their connections to the civil rights movements:
-SNCC freedom singers, Mahalia Jackson, Fannier lou Hamer, CORE, Willie Peacock
5. Person experiences with protest music: plannign on asking my grandparents what songs they sung, why, how did it make them feel
6. Where songs were sung: Marches, Funerals (MLK and other civil rights activists)
7. How whites responded to the protest songs.
I am really horrible at organization. If anyone can help me put some order to this, I would greatly appreciate it. Also, if anyone has sources that I could go to more information, I would be greatful!
