Additional Readings: Harper, Douglass, and Lincoln

Hi, class,

It's only Week 2, and I am already having to make modifications in our reading schedule--lol! I have cut Douglass's "Claims of the Negro, Ethnologically Considered," as it is a long piece, but I will go over the main points Douglass makes as he confronts the pseudo-scientific challenges to black humanity.

Here are links to the additional readings I placed on the syllabus. In addition to this week's discussion of Frederick Douglass's novella, The Heroic Slave, we will be discussing the following:


Frances E.W. Harper readings:
I have cut a couple of the Harper readings, but have added one. They are relatively short pieces--we will take a look at the poems and the short story "The Two Offers" (1859) tomorrow, and the speech "We Are All Bound Up Together" (1866) on Thursday.

From Poems on Miscellaneous Subjects (1854):

Short Story 
"The Two Offers" (click on link)

Speech

Abraham Lincoln readings:
These are short pieces that we will take a quick look at on Thursday as we attempt to wrap up our discussion of the Douglass novella. They are extremely important in the context of African American post-Civil War struggle.


As with everything that we will be reading this semester, please be ready to comment on a section that you find particularly significant--pay attention to diction, language, tone, and theme.

  9. I drop a leave a response when I especially enjoy
    a post on a website or I have something to contribute to the conversation.
    Usually it's caused by the passion communicated in the article I looked at.
    And after this article "Additional Readings: Harper, Douglass, and Lincoln".
    I was moved enough to leave a commenta response :-)
    I do have 2 questions for you if you tend not to
    mind. Could it be only me or do a few of these responses look as if they are coming
    from brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are posting
    on other online sites, I would like to follow anything new you have to post.
    Would you list every one of your public sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter
    feed?

  13. I comment whenever I appreciate a post on a site
    or if I have something to contribute to the conversation. It's a result of
    the sincerness displayed in the post I read. And on this article "Additional Readings: Harper, Douglass, and Lincoln".
    I was actually excited enough to drop a thought :) I actually do
    have 2 questions for you if it's allright. Is it only me
    or does it look like a few of the remarks come across like left by brain dead visitors?

    :-P And, if you are posting at additional online sites, I'd like
    to follow you. Would you list all of your shared pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
