Both Sources
Analyze the primary sources relevant to your historical event for the presence of bias.
The bias of the two sources used is one is from the people involved in the riot and the second
primary source is from the police involvement from the riots, seeing both perspectives can give
one a better look into the history of the event and look from both view points to gain a better
stand point from a bias view of the event I believe.
Compare how your historical event is represented in your primary sources.
As stated in the both sources, one can see the difference in the sources, my first primary
includes interviews of African Americans that were involved in the riots and my second primary
source releases the police reports obtained from the riots, showing the police stand point of the
events that took place that day.
