Thanks Jaryn.
Hey Mr. O I left early the day we got out and forgot to get the paper for extra credit. how big was it supposed to be?
Althea,
I don't remember the exact dimensions. I wrote it on the board. Does anyone have it written down?
I have tried Facebook, no one really replied to me... is there anyway I could bring it in Tuesday? I know what I want to do, I just don't have the paper for it. I was thinking of doing the cover of Lulu In Hollywood, its about the life of a flapper in the 20's, Louise Brooks.
What was the community of blacks that settled in the Deep South, where they made farms out of the boggy area no one wanted?
So we are doing economic, political and social for #1 (suprise!) and we were wondering besides the black codes for political and disregarding 14 & 15 amendment what other laws were really important?
Paige
Mound Bayou was the town founded by Isiah Montgomery in 1887 in the Mississippi Delta.
You may also want to look at grandfather clause, poll taxes, and literacy tests. You could also look at the games played with voting districts such as gerrymandering, moving the polling places to difficult areas to reach and political intimidation if they voted the wrong way.
Why does the compromise of 1877 have such a big effect? why does it define a time period in the fight for black equality? And what was the advantage for Grant to remove the troops from Florida before Hays? Wouldn't that just be one less thing the new president had to deal with? One more question: am I completely misinterpreting this?
Oh wait, so because the troops left and that converted the people to democrats, it just meant Hays had less support in office?
Mr O
for question 4, is it alright if we take a side and make our essay pro- DuBois or pro-Washington?
Justin-Yes.
for 4 can we go washington dubois and then what they shared in common as far as goals and such?
Michaella-That means you are only comparing and contrasting for one of the three points. It seems like a guaranteed way to limit the amount of analysis in your structure. No, I don't think that would be wise at all. What I might do is look at the sentence from DuBois' writing that I told you to underline as a possible structure.
So Mr. O, I was looking at the questions again, and I don't know if this is bad or not, but I just realised that WWI and WWII happened in there. I guess I was disconnected or something, but I realised there was something important about the year 1945.
for number one, i'm having trouble coming up with three buckets. I have two; discrimination and the KKK, but i need a third one.. any suggestions? Do i need to to different buckets than these? Thanks
Miles,
Segregation, violence, voting rights, economic oppression, and limiting education are all possible. I think you could merge a couple. What do you think?
another question, for number 5, I have educational values, and social values for 2 buckets, and I would just evaluate his beliefs on those, but don't know what to do for a 3rd. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks.
this goes back to Justin's question about taking sides on numero 4, but does this mean we use personal pronouns to agree or still go "one would agree" blah blah blah?
could you throw mound bayou into question number one under political or economic?
Michaela. If you are still awake, economic is more applicable as mound bayou had less to do with civil rights than creating a society where blacks could be economically successful.
Miles. It is easier to use violence and intimidation as part of the thesis and use the reasons that triggered it as buckets. Examples that are good would be, breaking societal rules, political power, and economic power
Vale-no personal pronouns. You simply use evidence to argue the case. Your personality is not the issue. The question is are your ideas valid.
Miles-What about his ideas on political and civil rights? Again, I might go back to the DuBois critique. However, I think Josh has a decent structure as well right above this.
Michaella-It depends on what you are trying to prove. I tend to agree on economic, but if you are talking about black submission on Civil Rights, Mound Bayou could be used.
i can not get the letter from Birmingham jail packet to open on docushare. everything but the packet will open for me.
Mr. O,
For Question no. 2, would an appropriate bucket system be as follows:
Industrial America (Economic)
Political Shifts (Reconstruction to Jim Crow- Lincoln to Johnson to Grant)
Jim Crow Ideology (Social)
The last one is a bit off I know. I just wanted to know also if "Civil War" had a key part to the question. Does that mean more along the national changes instead of the Southern changes?
THanks!
Laura,
I think you might be better off looking at Economic change in the South/Black Relations, changes in civil and political rights, and then segregation/Jim Crow.
I feel like I'm lacking detail on Brooker T. and DuBois's arguments for both civil/political rights and education. Any suggestions for more bulk and depth for my buckets because right now they're tea cups.
For #2, I'm using the buckets you suggested. Would pres/congressional reconstruction fit best under Economic change in South/Black Relations?
Emma.
Teacups.
Dubois had a plan centered around direct confrontation led by a strong group of elite educated individuals that he called his talented tenth. It was his opinion that after civil rights economic rights etc would follow. The time to fight for him was "now". You might want to throw in a little about him being part of the NAACP and being part of the minority (more or less) movement at the turn of the century.
Washington had a plan centered around mutual construction. He recognized that the public view of blacks was so poor that any attempt at gaining rights would be brutally squashed. He also realized that african americans were not very economically reliable and had been held generationally in poverty as a child race. His plan was to educate the negroes and endear them to the whites ergo moral and vocational education. After all it is easier for the white population to put down "cockroaches" then "loyal dogs" when they rise up asking for rights. He didn't entirely despise protesting in his day but he thought it wasn't the best confrontational method. He stuck to funding court cases.
For a third bucket I would rationalize their arguments against each other and/or show what the end result in the civil rights movement. (I think there was quite a synthesis that happened)
As for question 2. I would take the presidential/congressional reconstruction most of the laws had to do with readmitting states as well as individuals rights so i would put it in the second bucket. A good transition may be, As well as "blah, blah, blah" the time after the civil war was one of many uncertainties as to the rights of the subjugated states and their citizens. I would then compare within that, the states rights, the whites rights, and the negroes whites. You could sow race relations through all that. I also think that there would have been a lot of anti-negro resentment after the war. Hope my ramblings help, Josh
Emma,
Josh's detail is fine, but I am not crazy about any structure that doesn't spend its points directly comparing and contrasting. Otherwise, you end up with WAY too much narrative and not enough analysis. For example on their educational philosophy, you can look at the fact their ultimate goal is similar, yet their means are dramatically different. This is where you examine the "racial uplift" philosophy of Booker vs. DuBois' talented tenth. You then do the rest of the ideas in the same manner. Does this make sense, Emma?
Emma-I might put aff action in education and add either voting rights or economic issues.
Mr. O,
I'm having trouble with buckets for #3. I can think of a lot of different ones but I'm not sure if they're strong enough or which ones to put together. I'm thinking society, education, and economy right now, but I also debated using unity/organization or something like that. Any suggestions? Thanks.
was there any kind of direct/semi direct results from the propaganda from the Children's march?
Ben,
I would suggest perhaps doing a cultural bucket for #3, but that was just my take on it. That way, if you labeled it "cultural identity" you could discuss all the aspects of Jazz, and the Harlem Rennisance, but also the society that formed as culture with recongition and even religious freedom - all aspects of the African American culture. Hope that is right, and helps!
Laura
So we have this great purple sheet filled with cases where the Supreme Court stood up for the rights of African American citizens. Whats that wonderful number compared what the court just brushed aside? Can those cases really be counted as such great successes?
Thanks Laura, that's what I was trying to think of! Appreciate it :)
For question number 8, besides doing just three presidencies, would intervention, legislation, and appointments (comparing Eisenhower and LBJ) be solid enough buckets?
Mr. O,
I know I have already asked you this question in class. But would a good approach to question #6 be the following?
Education - signicificance of the advancemetns of education with DuBois' philosophy
Concilliation w/ South
Civic and Political Rights - taking action and assertion of rights through legal ways shows the "blueprint" for further poltical rights.
I don't know what to put in my second bucket. Any ideas?
Laura
Ben,
I agree that Laura has a solid take on it. As for you structure on question 8, I think that works, but be sure to add analysis rather than listing in points two and three.
Emma-Children's March has a direct influence on gaining support for the Civil Right Act of 1964. I'm not sure any of those are brush offs, but rather just the smallest of the biggest fish. That list doesn't have any minor cases on it. How can I help you with them?
Laura-In point 2, I think you want to talk about Booker's Atlanta Exposition vs DuBois' more confrontational appoint. You may also want to talk about Booker becoming the favorite African American of the white power structure. You also may want to look at why he is choosing jobs that make the South happy.
Could you expain the entrenchment idea you mentioned with the Black Panters? Also, on #12 - the MLK v. MX question - could the bucket of International/National be used as a third bucket along with protesting methods and target audience?
...wait, isn't Laura's question asking about DuBois? How much do you want to disucss Washington when assessing the significance of Du Bois?
Emma,
On number 12, where do the economic goals vs civil rights/voting rights fit into the structure?
As for the Laura questions, I should have made that much clearer. I would be probably be addressing the issue that DuBois doesn't have much effect on the White population during the era.
can you post the power point you showed yesterday on docushare becasue we need the statistics
Sorry about the delay, I was making lunch for Mugwump. It has been posted to docushare.
Mr. O,
This is a question on number 8. When distinquishing the presedencies, is it best to go by bucket, or remain within the same administrations? I am bucketing it the same way as Ben did, but i feel there are better comparisons between different presednets per topic than remaining to Eisnenhower and LBJ, is that alright to do?
THanks!
Laura,
That will work just fine, but be sure to have at least two Presidents significantly addressed.
Did the Greensboro sit-ins prompt any Supreme Court cases that we would be able to tie in on question #7?
Also, could you please give us some suggested buckets for # 11? Sierra, Ashley, Kayla, and I are having some troubles.
Paige. I fit helps, I would counter the premise of the statement. The philosophies seem to be based on the view of equality for king and "comparing apples and oranges" for X. Because of those thoughts X wanted separation and King wanted reconciliation and mutual growth. Along those lines I would use buckets like so.
Kings policy of protesting for equality in society so that Americans could be EQUAL FREE BROTHERS.
Malcolm X and his policy that caucasians and negros cannot coexist.
The 3rd bucket (not necessarily in this order) could be used to affirm the difference in method. I would also place criticism of each other somewhere.
Mr. O What do you think?
I have another question... What exactly is affirmative action?
Paige and Mr O,
For question number 11 I was thinking of this for buckets:
Methodology, Audience and Perspective, and Application of Rights. It is a bit more far fetched, but would a comparison/contrast per bucket be a good way to get to the main arguments?
Laura
Paige.
Affirmative action is more or less a proactive measure to ensure equality. For example racial quotas in companies, or tax benefits etc. Good examples would be NCLB, Indian Education for All, and all those annoying race survey questions.
Paige,
1)Not directly on Greensboro
2) Here are some basic areas you are going to want to cover. Non-Violent vs not, American centered vs International/African, audiences, and integration vs. separation.
3) Aff action is an advantage given to a group based on race or gender. Usually this is linked to college admission or government hiring.
Laura,
Take a look at what I suggested immediately above. If you have covered those basic ideas somewhere in the structure, you are fine.
Mr. O. I haven't ever gotten around to asking this but, On the IB tests do we do a full 5 P for the questions we answer or do we answer several in less detail?
Thanks
Josh
Did Booker T. Washington "allow" more oppressive jim crow laws or did he fight back against any new ones?
Thanks Josh
Mr. O,
For #13, would the effects on blacks, moderate whites,and radical whites be a good way of bucketing it?
Mr. O
Would you be upset if I used 2 buckets for #2 (economy and race relations) or should work out a third one?
Two bucket ideas i have for #12 are change in leadership and shift in interest of the movement. any ideas for a third?
any ideas for #13? right now I have Leadership, instigated riots and violence, and effect on whites, but it seems like these are so interrelated that they could just be one bucket.
thanks
Mr. O, what would some acceptable buckets for #13 be? So far we only have the loss of white moderate support.
Mr O,
Can you explain some about Brown V Board 2? Is it encouraging educational integration or restricting it?
Addison
Brown v Board 2 encouraged integration.
Josh-Washington's theory is that the Jim Crow laws will be less onerous if the black population shows that it is working with the white population. The more it rebels, the more the white society will respond with harsher Jim Crow laws.
Ben, Justin and Paige-I like your white moderate support, I would also suggest it forces a change of focus to more Northern black issues, and finally I might suggest that you should Africanization of the movement.
Justin-I am not sure you have answered number 12 in regards to what reasons.
Addison-Brown 2 said that integration has to happen immediately. The South can't continue to delay
thanks :D good post
