An identification response must include 1) basic four types of information: who or what the term was, when it occurred, where it occurred, and why it was important; and 2) Offer explanation of historical context, how the item effects change over time, and the historical significance of the event/person/law. If you omit any of these, then you lose points. Distinguish between what something was and why it was important. Was it important for a political reason, an economic reason, did it create a certain type of social climate? Just telling what someone did is not necessarily what makes the important—the consequences of the action are what make the action/event significant. General statements such as: “this was the first step toward equality” or “it changed African American history forever” will not count as a statement of historical significance.

The Great Migration was the relocation of approximately 6 million black around 1916 to 1970. This target group moved from the rural settlements in the south to the cities in the north. The extreme economic events contributed by the First World War influenced this massive migration of blacks as they searched for reprieve. Consequently, this massive black migration heightened racial disparities and division, which have continued to date with rampant police brutality towards the blacks.
Part Two: Argument Regarding the Statement by the Publisher Henry Luce
The publisher, Henry Luce, in the year 1941, argued that the twentieth century would be recognized as the “American century.” He emphasized that the country was moving towards internationalism, entailing economic and political cooperation with other states and nations.
