Idea: African American Roles During World War 1

[] Thesis: WWI was a time not only for fighting, but growth domestically as well; a barrier broken down for the regular white man or woman, but African Americns. They not only served their country in large numbers, but started a movement that would change our views on many different things. Revise to one sentence: WWI **__caused__** domestic growth, not only **for white Americans** but also **African Americans**, who started a movement that would change __our views__ on many different things. Now you'll need to revise, especially the underlined parts to be more specific. Then, your outline would have to include the big bolded ideas and you need to make sure the you have evidence of that. I'd really like to meet with you to review this before next week. Actually looking over it further, this thesis is still too big.
