Topics I am Considering Revising
African-American veterans lynched after World War I

My interest in this topic stems from my up most respect for all those who have served in the military and my belief that veterans should be treated far better when they return home. This combined with my passion to understand the history of equalities in the United States, so I may use this knowledge to fight against them, has led me to choose this topic.
