African Americans’ pursuit of civil rights has a long history, and activists have disagreed about the best way to pursue their interests.  Some have advocated integration as the best path to black equality, while others have argued that separatism and black nationalism are more likely to serve African American interests.  In your essay, draw on readings, lectures, and the video to make the best case you can for each of these positions.  Then make an argument for the position that you consider to be most persuasive.
