Essay on American diversity
I am suppose to write an essay for school and the topic is laws that have changed since 1873 that have made America diverse today and I dont know where to begin with writing it. It has to be 3 paragraphs. I wanted to add something that has affected my life with diversity and I was wanting to know if my mom marring my stepdad who is black when she is white be a good example of today's diversity be a good example of diversity today. Also any other tips for my essay would be helpful.

Your example is an excellent one. In 1873 there were laws against interracial marriage. In some states they could have been hung for doing so.
What I would suggest is you take you example and work back from there. You could start by saying something like. "Today diversity is such that it is normal to have interracial marriages much like my mom and step dads marriage. Then go from there researching back how and when the laws changed and the penalties for interracial marriage back to 1873.
For the ending of your essay you might consider something like. "Prior to the civil war interracial children were not the results of interracial marriage but the result of sex between the slave owner and his female slaves." "There are descendants of our first President who are of interracial origin."
Good luck I'm sure you find enough information for more than 3 paragraphs.
