Module 11

Module 11

 

This week, with both the election and Birth of a Nation fresh in your mind, please write your second short paper, just two pages, addressing the following question: In what ways has race been a key element of the 2020 presidential contest? In answering this question, you might explore various themes or sub-questions, such as: Did the campaigns attempt to reach out to black voters in particular? In what ways did the campaigns attempt to earn the trust of black voters? Were they successful? Is the legacy of racism as depicted in Birth of a Nation relevant to the politics of the 21stcentury United States?

 

Your paper should be approximately 500 words in length (2 pages), and is due Sunday. Please send me your paper by email. You do not need to make a blog post this week.
