Write a paper that compares and contrasts the experiences of African Americans with Mexican Americans in the East Bay during World War Two.
Your paper should revolve around a series of points of comparison between the two groups. For example, you might consider some of the following issues and how they applied to each group:
-What forces led both groups to come to California?
-What types of opportunities did they find?
-What types of limitations did they face?
-How were the experiences of the first generation (migrants or immigrants to California) different from those of the second generation (born in California, to migrant or immigrant parents)?
-How did group experiences change, for better or worse, over time?
-What was the impact of each group on California’s society, culture, politics, and/or economy?
