History

Posted: September 24th, 2015

Using the excerpt from Sonia Sotomayor’s autobiography, My Beloved World (2013), develop a
well-organized analytical essay that explains how the text reveals the unresolved contradictions
of American history and the persistence of ideologies that threaten the founding promise of equal
opportunity for all (Dr. King’s “promissory note”).
U se Justice Sotomayor’s Dissent in the Schuette v. BAMN decision for additional
evidence.
Paper must:
 Develop an analysis of textual evidence that places it in a wider context
 Include correctly formatted in-text citations and a works cited page
 Use appropriate racial terminology for the 21st century
 Be edited for basic spelling and punctuation errors
 Be approximately 5-6 pages in length
 Be typed, double-spaced, with 1 inch margins, 11 or 12 point font, with an appropriate
heading and title
