Washington v Du Bois debate

I am moving the actual debate to Wednesday. However, for those of you who were gone and are checking the blog, I have posted the roles on docushare. The large classes are split into two debate groups. If you are an interviewer, you are expected to write ten questions for the participants. If you are a participant without an asterisk, you are to defend your person's point of view. If you have an asterisk, you are doing opposition research on your opponent, so that you are prepared to counter their arguments. If you have questions, feel free to post.

Extra Credit Opportuntiy

I read this article today and found it interesting. I am offering five points extra credit for the three best responses to the following question. Should the South be celebrating the start of the Civil War or is it commemorating an act of treason? Please try to limit your response to a solid paragraph. Here is the link
