This is Harder then I thought

So far I have looked up books and information on the internet for my research project on The Royal Theater. It seems as though I’m not having much luck with gathering a lot of information. The direction that I would like to go in (at this point) would be Baltimoreans reaction to this new theater during the 1920’s. I’m trying to understand what it was like, as a “colored” person to make that type of accomplishment. I would like to know if the owners were afraid, overwhelmed, or just living for that moment. On the flip side, I’m seeking information on the Caucasians point of view. I didn’t think that I would run into a wall so early into my research; however, I’m going to go to the library to see if I can find some old articles or photos, so that I can get a better feel for what Pennsylvania Avenue was like during the 1920’s.
Overall, I think this topic is a challenging one. I’m skeptical on how I can turn it into a nine page paper. However, I’m also determined and I know this project will be a great experience. So stay tuned!
