For the first primary source analysis, look at the two linked articles about the 1906 Atlanta Race Riots from the Atlanta Constitution and the New York Times, and compose a 250-word response comparing what each publication printed about the events. For this assignment, I want you to concentrate on the language of each article. What do the authors say about the riots? What information do they choose to emphasize to readers about what happened? How does each article frame the events and what, if any, difference is there between the Constitution and the Times coverage?
