The+Crisis+Symposium

Click on "Discussion" to add your response to //The Crisis// excerpts. Please remember that your response should reference the writers' claim(s) about how the "Negro should be portrayed in art" and then offer a reasoned opinion on that view. Focus on defending, challenging, or qualifying their stance. Make sure your response notes who the author is and references both the context of the time period and any related reoccurring (or contemporary) issues. Impress me by making connections to the readings/thematic topics from class (both history and English) and to contemporary issues. Your response does not need to be long -- it needs to be poignant and pithy. Please remember that (similar to responses in seminar discussions), if someone has already posted a response on the author/topic you plan to address, you should also respond to their response and further the discussion.
