Exploring the Color Line: Chicago's South Side






Read the essay and view the attached photo essay in Mother Jones Magazine. Then write a paragraph response in which you connect issues discussed in this article to many of the issues of racial boundaries that we read about and discussed in class in the past few weeks. Write about your own thoughts in response to the information and images you see.

You many want to write about A Raisin in the Sun, Our America, or any of the articles, stories, and poems we have read. You might also consider the images we discussed such as The Great Migration series from Jacob Lawrence or the photographs in 12 Million Black Voices.

As always, please remember tp sign your post with your first name and class period.
