=Harlem Renaissance Webpathfinder (Original Draft--saved to retain Dr. M's comments)= An effective pathfinder is not simply a list of links. Students would get more information about each of these sites if they Google. ??? See: @http://storytrail.com/impact12/harlem.htm I just changed the columns and added a place to give a brief description of each link.

Your list is not in alphabetical order in each category. Separate tables for each category might be clear or use color font to indicate categories. I just divided the people into categories and put them in alphabetical order within each category.
