In what ways did this issue change over time, and how did these changes affect your ethnic group at different points throughout history?

In In Step 1 you chose an issue to follow throughout the term. In Steps 2 & 3 you researched where you came from and some of the history of your ethnicity in the US. In Step 4 you proposed a thesis about how your ancestral ethnic group historically relates to one of the five hot button issues. You also put together an annotated bibliography of sources you will use to research that history. This paper is where you will discuss that research.
Your instructor has given you feedback on your thesis and may have proposed that you find additional or different sources. Some of your classmates also commented on your proposal in M5 Group Discussion.
Considering feedback from your instructor and classmates on your proposal, write an essay that analyzes the historical connection of the contemporary issue you identified in step 1 to the current status of your own ethnicity/ies as you conceptualize it/them. Expand on or alter the thesis in the proposal to address how your ethnic group’s background fits with the development of this issue. In sum, you will be examining the stakes for your group in this issue.
