Write a paper on the Smithsonian ‘s National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington D.C. is planning to add some inscriptions outside of the museum.
must select two quotes from our reading of authors in the
Norton anthology this semester—one
quote from a woman and one quote from a man—and argue that these should be
featured outside of the museum.
You must argue that each quote–and its
author–will be representative of the museum’s mission to explore “what it means to be an
American and share how American values like resiliency, optimism, and
spirituality are reflected in African American history and
culture.”
You
must research the quotes and the authors using secondary
sources (in addition to the two primary sources you will use from the Norton
anthology).
You
must present your argument in a 750-1000 word essay.
While you are writing, be sure to use research AND your own analysis to support
your argument that both the quotes AND the authors will exemplify the museum’s
mission.
The book I used was The Norton Anthology of African American Literature third edition volume 1
Women options: Harriet Jacobs, Zora Neale Hurston, or Maria Stewart
Men options: Paul Lawrence, Langston Hughes, Alain Locke, or Frederick Douglass
