Billie Holiday
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. Sprung forth into a world of racial intolerance combined with a significant appreciation for music, Billie Holiday set the stage for other black artists to follow. Her gutsy vocals and equally solid physical presence established her as one of the music industry's most prominent figures. Her music was able to reach people who had heretofore not learned to appreciate the sultry sounds of jazz, which – along with such greats as Louis Armstrong -- she helped to gain acceptance into mainstream society. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Birth of a Nation/Cinematic History
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page research paper that discusses The Birth of a Nation (1915, directed by D.W. Griffith for Epoch; screenplay by D.W. Griffith, Frank E. Woods and Thomas Dixon), which is a landmark film in cinematic history as it was the first important feature-length film, which had a tremendous impact on the nascent industry, as it changed the demographic makeup of film audiences (The Birth of a Nation, 1995). Up to this time, films were generally considered to be a working-class entertainment, but Birth of a Nation opened cinema to a much wider audience, one that had previously preferred only the legitimate theatre (The Birth of a Nation, 1995). Nevertheless, considering Birth of a Nation is also problematic due to this film’s overt racism. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Birth of a Nation/Racism in 2 Scenes
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay that discusses this film. Director D.W.
