4 pts our rubric
The real African American Studies Section II is 4 free-response questions in 85 minutes, 30% of your score. Three short-answer questions (40 minutes, 18% of the exam: one text source, one visual source, one thematic) and the five-document DBQ (45 minutes, 12%). The individual student project carries a further 10%. This prompt is ours, written to the same skills — score it against the rubric below, not against that structure.
