Hey, my name is Grant and im a teacher for african American kids and my teaching skills have been tested on teaching someone something that they already are and I need advice on how to tell a man that he isn't a hog. People have called him that and it stuck with him now he is acking like a hog. He has had incidents to where when i gave him food he ate it like a hog. He has said verbally that be is a hog but thats only because thats what they want him to think. He is really a good man that was found guilty of a crime that he didn't commit. He was just in the store with liquor in his hand but he didn't kill anybody. Since he is an African American they want to say he guilty and call him out his name. I want to help but it's challenging in a way.What can i do or say that will help me get the idea of him being a hog out his head to him knowing that he is a man just like me and i can get this big responsibility off my shoulders ?

But during his college life and after in the 1930s the Great Depression had started. Times was already bad for African Americans but this made it worse. During this time blacks were the first to be laid off from jobs that they had been working hard to keep.      The spark of the African Americans coming together to get what they deserved created something called the New Deal. Also, when Ellison book was published in 1945 the Civil Rights Movement was starting to make some noise throughout every state.

A Lesson before Dying - chapter 3-4 discussion questions Chapter 3 1. Mr. Pichot had no doubt in his mind that jefferson did it and really didn't care much about jefferson.
