Annotated bibliographies list citations to sources used in research and include a brief paragraph describing each source's relevance and quality. The purpose is to inform readers of the usefulness and reliability of the citations. Sources should be organized by type, such as primary and secondary sources. When creating an annotated bibliography, researchers locate sources on their topic, cite them in the chosen style format, and write a concise summary of and commentary on each source and its significance to the project.

5. Hilliard, David. This Side of Glory. Boston: Little,
Brown Co., 1993. Print.
David Hilliard was the national leader of the BPP at the time
Hampton was a member. Hampton met with Hilliard shortly
before Hampton’s death to discuss Hampton taking on a
greater national role in the Panthers. This book contained
firsthand accounts of what the Panthers were like after the
Hampton raid, as well as other key events leading to the
organization’s decline.

Panthers” by Sam Bouman (2003).

6. Newton, Huey P. Revolutionary Suicide. New York:
Writers and Readers Publishing, 1973. Print.
This book gives an idea of what the BPP is really about,
from the point of view of its cofounder. Though it is very
biased, it gives an idea of what the BPP did right from the
start.

7. Sawyers, June. "The Strike that Shook up an Entire
Industry." Chicago Tribune 12 June 1988: 9. Chicago
Tribune. ProQuest. Web. 7 Dec. 2009.
The newspaper article summarizes the entire Men's Garment
Workers' Strike that began in 1910. It gives all the facts of the
strike and then concludes with how the strike ended for Hart
Schaffner and Marx and what happened after that agreement
up until 1914.
