For each of the sources below, we took notes and discussed either as a class or in our groups.
We started with a short video (watch approximately from 9:28-12:10)

Next, we looked at two paintings by Archibald Motley, representative of the Harlem Renaissance, focusing on the contrast between these, and the images from the Jim Crow web activity we completed last week.

Finally, we read and discussed excerpts from Hughes' essay "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain"
The remaining time in class was spent reading Native Son
