8-10 pages long.Choose 2 individuals from the time frame of this course (1870’s to 1960’s) discuss the details of the lives, contributions and significance of those two individuals.

You should not devote a large percentage of your paper to providing background historical context (that has already been accomplished through your other assignments and discussions). For example, if you choose two figures from the 1920’s, you should not provide an extensive general history of that era. While that would be appropriate for a longer research paper, that is not the purpose of this assignment.
