For Wednesday, we'll be reading and responding to Audre Lorde's "Poetry is Not a Luxury" from Sister Outsider. If you prefer to listen, an audio version can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9isrbcrgBg un (If you haven't procured your texts for the course yet, it is easily found through a web search.)
Please come to class with an x-page on that.
Browse the National Museum of African American History & Culture's website "Social Identities and Systems of Oppression" https://nmaahc.si.edu/learn/talking-about-race/topics/social-identities-and-systems-oppression . We'll be using this page throughout our course.
For Wednesday, watch How to Understand Power by Eric Liu there as well.
Come to class ready to answer
