Tuesday/ Wednesday 6/7 May.

Class began looking at the role of African-Americans to the Arts

New vocabulary word: Harlem Renaissance

We read The Negro Speaks of Rivers by Langston Hughes.

We watched a documentary biography of Thomas Day, a free black cabinet maker in North Carolina in the 1840s and 1850s.

We also viewed various clips and images relating to the Harlem Renaissance, the Cotton Club, and Duke Elington.

Students should bring their Reconstruction narrative rough draft to the next class. The final version of these stories is due next Monday.
