That's Actually Kind Of Inaccurate, Because During Lunch With A Fellow Grad Student (the Only Other Civil

That's actually kind of inaccurate, because during lunch with a fellow grad student (the only other civil rights historian in my department), I came up with chapters for my dissertation (I threw in some explanatory links for the nerd-uninitiated).

1. Pre-1945 District home rule activism 2. 1945-1960 demographic shifts 3. 1945-1960 civil rights activism in the District 4. SNCC, Black Power, and D.C. 5. The Twenty-Third Amendment 6. D.C. gets a School Board and House Delegate 7. The District Home Rule Act of 1973

Lit review is finished! Now all that's left are three chapter descriptions, citations, and anticipated sources.

An article by Jason I. Newman and Jacques B. DePuy, published in the Spring 1975 edition of the American University Law Reviewl (volume 24, number 3). It offers a legislative history of the District of Columbia, with references to specifically named laws and statutes; this is followed by a lengthy, in-depth, and rather dense analysis of the Home Rule Act of 1973.

Super score! Writings by Sam Smith, one of the founders of the DC Statehood Party.

This Supreme Court case ruled that restrictive covenants were illegal in Washington, DC.
