Answer the following questions in a two page essay:
1. Franklin provides a historical analysis of African American marriage. What is Franklin’s purpose in providing this analysis?
2. What were some of the reasons that black women combined education and professional employment with marriage while white women found marriage to be an alternative to paid work? What are some of the consequences?
3. How were the experiences of marriage different for professional whites and blacks?
4. Franklin concludes by asking us, as C. Wright Mills did in The Sociological Imagination, to see the connec- tion between an individual’s personal troubles and the greater social issues that are being played out in society. What connections have we seen in Franklin’s piece? Think about the micro, macro, social, and cul- tural forces that have contributed to the sometimes- divergent experiences of marriage by whites and blacks.
