I had my personal meeting with Tanya this past Tuesday and she helped very much. She helped me finalize my research inquiry question and gave me some new ideas and sources. She helped me find this source where the military is using hip hop music to recruit young African Americans.

My final research inquiry question is: Has the war in Iraq made the US Marine Corps increase effort in recruitment for African Americans, women, other minorities, and immigrants over the last couple of years? And what recruitment tools do they employ to do so?

 How do you feel about my research inquiry?

Are you interested at all in my topic?
