In terms of of logistics, how the evening will go, im going to talk a little bit about the topic. Im going to say a few words about my own research, how i came to pursue a topic in civil rights history, and then were also going to talk about a document that i had you read before coming to class, the plan of delano, and were also going to talk a little about your oral histories. Thats sort of the way that the next hour or so will progress. And i want to start off with things i hope you will take away from the course of the evening.

The rest are perhaps not obsolete. After all, the author is a cyclist, but no comparison to these things. I would guess if i have to reduce my claim to a thesis its that, wrong, turns out each one of these things has its place and more, and you guys are coming up with more stuff all the time.
