Black Power Movement Black Folks
1,775 words
Postmodernist discourses are often exclusionary
even when, having been accused of lacking concrete
relevance, they call attention to and appropriate
the experience of "difference" and "otherness" in
order to provide themselves with oppositional
political meaning, legitimacy, and immediacy. Very
few African-American intellectuals have talked or
written about postmodernism. Recently at a dinner
party, I talked about trying to grapple with the
significance of postmodernism for contemporary

this Amendment protect individuals? I feel that
the protection should be unconditional according

Read And Write Frederick Douglass
1,059 words
Setting a Nation Free Any anti slavery book
published in 1845 was considered radical and
daring, but for a black man and a fugitive slave,
at that, to have done it was near suicide.
Luckily, Frederick Douglass, the author of The
Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, was
able to flee America by way of Great Britain after
the book was released so that the United States
could have time to embrace it. It was a story all
too common in the United States at the time, but
nearly unknown except by...
