february 4Thank you for your contributions to Dr. Royster's visits last week. In this week's reading, we go all the way back to slavery and look at the distinct meanings of literacy and schooling for African Americans. We will suggest here that African American rhetoric takes on distinct meaning here--- within the terms of a very distinct relationship to reading, writing, and communicating. |
Happy 60th Anniversary to the GREENSBORO 4 & THE sit-inOn February 1, 1960, four first-year college students changed American history. Ezell Blair, Jr., David Richmond, Franklin McCain and Joseph McNeil began a sit-in at a whites-only lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina. This act of bravery is noted as one of the vital moments in the American Civil Rights Movement.
IN LOVING MEMORY OF DAVID RICHMOND |

As you watch: Why do you think this impacted so many young people at the time? How and why do you think this changed how college students saw their role as student-activists? How might we see/say the sit-in as part of AFRICAN AMERICAN RHETORIC? How does this connect to what you read about African American desires for literacy and education in slavery?
