So much information

So I'm trying to narrow the focus of my project, since a paper about the 68 riots could turn into a doctoral thesis. And I'm finding a wealth of information about the political and racial climate prior to the riots of the 60's, and a lot of great information about the Kerner Commissions findings. Its believe by some that the Kerner Commission outlined huge rift between black Americans and white Americans. And as a result of those rifts the country was inevitably going to have civil disturbances, and unless remedied would prove disastrous for the country. Now those ideas can be debated, but my research so far is showing that much of the problems other cities faced Baltimore was also dealing with. So the fact that there was a riot here, should not have surprised anyone.

I think it would be wise to write my paper proposal while these ideas are fresh.
