The spirit of humankind, Hansberry insists, must affirm freedom, justice, integrity, caring--at the expense of comfort or even life itself." -Amiri Baraka ]]> 2017-05-02 16:32:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitlin_barry/m2mmnzbb7brk/wish/169478126 A Letter from Birmingham Jail kaitlin_barry https://padlet.com/kaitlin_barry/m2mmnzbb7brk/wish/169478127 2017-05-02 16:32:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitlin_barry/m2mmnzbb7brk/wish/169478127 "I Wish I Knew How it Would Feel to be Free" by Nina Simone kaitlin_barry https://padlet.com/kaitlin_barry/m2mmnzbb7brk/wish/169478128 2017-05-02 16:32:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitlin_barry/m2mmnzbb7brk/wish/169478128 "Harlem" by Langston Hughes kaitlin_barry https://padlet.com/kaitlin_barry/m2mmnzbb7brk/wish/169478129 Does it dry up

like a raisin in the sun?

Or fester like a sore—

And then run?

Does it stink like rotten meat?

Or crust and sugar over—

like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags

like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?

Its basic strength lies in the character and the problem of Walter Lee, which transcends his being a Negro. If the play were only the Negro-white conflict that crops up when the family’s proposed move is about to take place, it would be an editorial, momentarily effective, and nothing more. Walter Lee’s difficulty, however, is that he has accepted the American myth of success at its face value, that he is trapped, as Willy Loman was trapped, by a false dream." -Gerald Weales ]]> 2017-05-02 16:32:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitlin_barry/m2mmnzbb7brk/wish/169478130 Lorraine Hansberry Makes Broadway as First Black Female kaitlin_barry https://padlet.com/kaitlin_barry/m2mmnzbb7brk/wish/169478132 2017-05-02 16:32:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitlin_barry/m2mmnzbb7brk/wish/169478132 Smoking Infographics kaitlin_barry https://padlet.com/kaitlin_barry/m2mmnzbb7brk/wish/169478133 2017-05-02 16:32:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitlin_barry/m2mmnzbb7brk/wish/169478133 Kaitlin Barry kaitlin_barry https://padlet.com/kaitlin_barry/m2mmnzbb7brk/wish/169478135 2017-05-02 16:32:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitlin_barry/m2mmnzbb7brk/wish/169478135 Chicago in the 30s kaitlin_barry https://padlet.com/kaitlin_barry/m2mmnzbb7brk/wish/169478136 #Chicago]]> 2017-05-02 16:32:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitlin_barry/m2mmnzbb7brk/wish/169478136 Background Photo Credits kaitlin_barry https://padlet.com/kaitlin_barry/m2mmnzbb7brk/wish/169478137 http://lhlt.org/]]> 2017-05-02 16:32:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitlin_barry/m2mmnzbb7brk/wish/169478137 Ruby Bridges Makes History kaitlin_barry https://padlet.com/kaitlin_barry/m2mmnzbb7brk/wish/169478138 2017-05-02 16:32:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitlin_barry/m2mmnzbb7brk/wish/169478138 MLK: "I Have a Dream" kaitlin_barry https://padlet.com/kaitlin_barry/m2mmnzbb7brk/wish/169478139 2017-05-02 16:32:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitlin_barry/m2mmnzbb7brk/wish/169478139 Supreme Court Rules Against School Segregation kaitlin_barry https://padlet.com/kaitlin_barry/m2mmnzbb7brk/wish/169478140 #segregation ]]> 2017-05-02 16:32:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitlin_barry/m2mmnzbb7brk/wish/169478140 Olivia Hawks kaitlin_barry https://padlet.com/kaitlin_barry/m2mmnzbb7brk/wish/169478142 2017-05-02 16:32:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitlin_barry/m2mmnzbb7brk/wish/169478142
