Agenda

  1. Take Attendance
  2. Chapter Titles Activity - Make a list of the chapters you've read so far and give each one a title.
  3. Jim Crow Research in the Library-
In Chapter 6, Richard Wright begins to fully appreciate the way he must act, speak, and behave around white people. Though society dictates that a black person must be silent, obedient, and submissive, Wright understands that doing so makes him the slave he is not supposed to be. As a result, he rebels when he can, where he can; ironically, this rebellion is usually against his own family. During this time period, so-called “Jim Crow” laws permeated the South, and Wright’s Uncle Tom is the very symbol of the behavior mandated by Jim Crow laws. His name itself is an allusion to the famous novel, Uncle Tom’s Cabin. He holds little hope for Richard; after Richard stands up to Tom and will not accept a beating by him, Tom says he is sure Richard will “end on the gallows.”

Using reliable resources, research the concept of “Jim Crow” laws.
Make a list of at least four of the laws that were classified as “Jim Crow.”
Be prepared to present these laws to a small group in class next time we meet.
