Today you will continue to write your first essay (read major grade). Below is the prompt. Think of this as the open question on the AP test but with a specific book. Please turn this in by Wednesday.
Noam Chomsky once said, “The America that black people have always known is not an attractive one.”
According to Dr. James Herron, “In the United States our identities are shaped by Race. People think of themselves 1st as white or black or native before they think of themselves as ‘American’”. This is different than other parts of the world. Using Assata’s autobiography make a case for or against whether the U.S. is a racist society and suggest a solution.
You must take a stance on the issue and create an argument using examples or evidence from Assata’s book.
