//Process Notes://
1. Ever since my African American History class with Blair Kelley here at NCSU, I became fascinated with the complexity of the Civil Rights Movement. There was never just MLK like so many of us are taught in high school and middle school so I knew I wanted to focus on the Civil Rights Movement, especially concerning the contrast of the passive movement of non-violence as a means of change associated with the MLK movement to the more militant "by any means necessary" views of the Nation of Islam, black nationalism and its leaders like Elijah Muhammed, Malcolm X and Marcus Garvey as the ultimate avenue for change. I knew this was where I wanted to do my research but I also knew that this was such a broad topic and that I needed to narrow my research into a more specific question. 2. I emailed Dr. Lee to receive guidance for choosing a topic. Below are our email correspondences: 3. After emailing with Dr. Lee, I spoke with Crystal about my topic and she guided me to be more specific about the dates of my research. She suggested using speeches or letters from certain years to narrow my research. This conference took place on Tuesday Sept. 17, 2013. From there I formulated the question I am researching... "Why did Malcolm X's perspective concerning the use of violence as a means of protest in the Civil Rights Movement change from 1954-1964?" 4. I also found several reliable sites based on Dr. Lee's advice and research of my own. [] [] The Autobiography of Malcolm X

- After peer review, Laura emailed me... <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">"I really liked your paper. I thought that it was well organized and that you made some great points. The only things I'm concerned about is your headings. Maybe bold them so that they will be more visible? I think it's really good!" <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">- I then fixed my headings because she was right, they weren't very visible. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">

//-Malcolm X was an advocate for Civil Rights but did he have an affair with a white man???// //-Malcolm X started with a domestic focus similar to MLK but throughout his career as a Civil Rights Leader his focus turned outward globally, advocating for the black voice everywhere, harkening to Pan Africanism. Why the change?// //-Name changes over time: Malcolm Little even though he received world-wide fame// //-Troubled past... great leader... ironic that his teacher told him he couldn't be a lawyer because of his skin but he became one of the best known human rights activists.//

 * Rough Draft**

After a peer edit in class by Kyle D, Jessica B, and Lauran H, I realized I needed to change some things about my paper because I don't think I did this assignment right at all. I was very confused about the required content of this paper and I thought we were writing pieces of a story that were true but ironic. I mirrored my paper with what I thought was the Paul Harvey format but I was wrong. I did not realize we were supposed to fictionalize the story and I thought we were just uncovering the ironic facts of a story. After reviewing my rough draft, I have tried to write a more creative paper with more suspense and mystery and not just historical facts. I hope this final draft is a better example of storytelling!
