Without Sanctuary and Book One Contd.

We'll start today with some thoughts about photographs before we look together at a very challenging and disturbing set of images - pictures of lynchings.

We'll watch several videos over the course of the period:
We'll also read this article, answering some of the questions linked below. 
We'll finish this section of class by briefly exploring how lynching should be remembered or memorialized: CNN Video.

During the 2nd part of class, we'll return to the novel and our work from yesterday, exploring how the information learned today influences our understanding of Bigger, his actions and his beliefs. 

Finally, after reviewing the comments on our Huck papers (and exploring this example-Huck Paragraph), we'll introduce your assignment and tasks for the next few days. These include the Jim Crow Web Activity which you'll need to make a copy of and ensure that Flash player is enabled.
