         <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Read the following quote by James G. Thompson, in a 1942 "Letter to the Editor" section of the Black-owned and operated newspaper, <em>The Pittsburgh Courier</em>.</strong></p><p><br/></p><p>"I suggest that while we keep defense and victory in the forefront that we don’t lose sight of our fight for democracy at home.</p><p>The V for victory sign is being displayed prominently in all so-called democratic countries which are fighting for</p><p>victory over aggression, slavery and tyranny. If this V sign means that to those now engaged in this great conflict, then let we colored Americans adopt the double VV for a double victory."</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>What do you think the "Double VV" stands for? Why might Thompson be calling for a "double victory"?</strong></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Lea la siguiente cita de James G. Thompson, en una sección de "Carta al editor" de 1942 del periódico propiedad y operado por negros, The Pittsburgh Courier.</strong></p><p><br/></p><p>"Sugiero que, si bien mantenemos la defensa y la victoria en primer plano, no perdamos de vista nuestra lucha por la democracia en nuestro país.</p><p>El símbolo de la V de victoria se exhibe de manera prominente en todos los llamados países democráticos que luchan por la</p><p>victoria sobre la agresión, la esclavitud y la tiranía. Si este símbolo de la V significa eso para quienes ahora están involucrados en este gran conflicto, entonces que los estadounidenses de color adoptemos la doble VV para una doble victoria".</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>¿Qué cree que significa la "doble VV"? ¿Por qué Thompson podría estar pidiendo una "doble victoria"?</strong></p>]]></description>
