Consider what we have studied in class. We have covered Africans in Americas Part 1, Africans in Americas Part 2, assigned readings from our text The African American Odyssey and supplemental lectures (on video
and in lecture).
Review the African American philosophies that we learned on
the second day of class. Use one African
American philosophy as a lens for interpreting and understanding the class
content. Choose only one specific topic
or lecture to interpret. Then post in the comments box how you view the African
American philosophy and class content to be conversation with one another.
Essentially, I am asking you to solve a problem. If it were
written out, it might look like this:
African American philosophy + class content = brilliant
insight and comment from student that provides evidence for her/his point.
Example: "The African American philosophy rememory is evident in Sonia
Sanchez’s performance of Middle Passage. In that poem, she uses the repetition
of words and inflections of sounds to articulate the mental anguish associated
with the middle passage."
Post your comments early; each term can only be used
twice. Every member from the class is
required to post.
