Assignment for Thursday, January 30

Read and annotate John Hope Franklin, "The Great Confrontation" (available on JSTOR if you missed class). Write two paragraphs in response to this reading: the first paragraph should summarize the reading; the second should critically respond to its main points. (Note that "critical" does not have to be "negative.")

Upcoming readings: Monday, February 3: Shelby Steele, "I'm Black, You're White, Who's Innocent?" (handout); Wednesday, February 5: Eula Biss, "No Man's Land" (handout, from Notes from No Man's Land); Friday, February 7: Toni Morrison, Beloved, pp. 3-23. Homework writing assignments are forthcoming.
