Essays / Why did the role of the CIA diminish in the 1970s? [5]

Any help would be much appreciated. Would these three areas makes a good essay?

In my first paragraph I've spoken about Nixon's dislike of the agency and changing how it is run.

I also have stuff on the agency's operation becoming public knowledge from investigations by the FBI, and committees

I then have Congress taking control of the CIA from the President.

Essays / Why did the role of the CIA diminish in the 1970s? [5]

Thanks for your help guys.

I've laid it down into three sub-topics;

1) Nixon's Disapproval and Influence
2) Watergate Scandal and Rise of Investigations into the Agency
3) Congress becoming more involved in controlling the CIA

Essays / Interpretation Needed for a Langston Huges extract [3]

"But this is the mountain standing in the way of any true Negro art in America--this urge within the race toward whiteness, the desire to pour racial individuality into the mold of American standardization, and to be as little Negro and as much American as possible... We younger Negro artists who create now intend to express our individual dark-skinned selves without fear or shame. We know we are beautiful. And ugly too. The tom-tom cries and the tom-tom laughs. If colored people are pleased we are glad. If they are not, their displeasure doesn't matter either. We build our temples for tomorrow, strong as we know how, and we stand on top of the mountain, free within ourselves." - Langston Hughes, "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain," The Nation 1926

I need an explanation of this extract in terms of American society at the time (1926), and for America as a whole in terms of content and context. Essentially what the passage means and how it relates to what was going on at the time.

Thanks.
