We are beginning our course with the poetry of Langston Hughes, but to understand his work you must understand the historical context of Black Americans.
your job today is to research the following topics and take notes on each of them. We will discuss these next time, and you will all need to contribute your findings.
look into and take notes on the following:
- slavery In the US (roots, practices, treatment of slaves)
- lynching
- the KKK
- Jim Crow Laws and racial segregation (practices, treatment, etc.)
- the Civil Rights Movement
make sure you understand what you read and write; do NOT just copy and paste!
