The premise of this assignment is that the Smithsonian Institute is planning to release a limited-edition magazine devoted entirely to African-American history since the end of the Civil War (1865). You have been asked by the Smithsonian Institute to develop a draft of this special one-time issue. The Smithsonian hopes to get an idea of what you will emphasize in your magazine. Before you are granted the contract to write the magazine, the Smithsonian must approve your proposal from among other competitor’s submissions. In order for your proposal to be accepted the magazine editors require that you include features/articles on the important social, economic, cultural and political changes that took place in African-American history since the Civil War.
The magazine editors also have other requirements. Specifically, you need to provide a name for your magazine; your magazine must contain at least two major articles on events/moments before 1945 and at least two major articles on events/moments after 1945. A major article means at least 1000 words each. The articles should not simply be descriptive but also include your own analysis of the events/moments and clearly express why this is significant and critical in understanding African-American history. In order for the editors to verify your information they demand that you provide a separate list of at least 6 historical sources that you used in writing these articles. Only two sources can come from the Internet, and two sources must be from books and two from historical journals. Along with the list of sources, you should write a paragraph for each explaining why these sources are essential in understanding your chosen topic. Your magazine should have a theme. What is the overall story of African-American history in this period? Make sure your articles are related in a way that reveals the theme of your magazine.
Since you are creating a magazine and not a journal, the editors want you to include at least 6 pictures that you feel help to tell African-American history in this period. In fact, when evaluating your proposal, the editors will put great weight (60% content- 40% creativity) on the look and design of your magazine. It should be visually appealing for a mass audience and contain items beyond simple text and articles. The editors encourage you to add creative features in your proposal such as games, puzzles, quizzes, cartoons, or whatever you can imagine that would make your magazine more attractive and interesting for general readers. Finally, your magazine draft must be at least 4000 words and include a word count.
Failure to address these requirements will cause the severest penalty and may result in your termination from the magazine project. 
Also with the citations please 2 from the internet , 2 from historical journals and 2 from historical books.
