Love Assignment
As you share thoughts on Walker, think about the power of love to change difficult situations and how powerful a value it has been in Walker's life, Dr. King, Coretta Scott King, the three Civil Rights workers killed, even Ben Chaney. When we think about love it's more often than not the romantic love that gets the most airtime, especially as we approach Valentine's Day.

The Greeks gave the different types of love names, a few of them are: agape, eros and philia. Which one do you think is most important? Bring the object to class 2/14. If it's alive bring a photo of it.

Ben Chaney and Angela Lewis: Brother and Daughter of James Earl Chaney
Ben Chaney and Angela Lewis: Brother and Daughter of James Earl Chaney, which appears in Children of the Movement by John Blake is a essay about determination; fight for what Ben Chaney knows is right, is one of the themes of this eleven page story. Ben Chaney is a fifty-year-old man who has stop growing, since the age of twelve, when he found out James E. Chaney, his brother, had died.
Ben stop growing after his brother passing, not because he was scared to grow up and face the “real world,” but because, I believe, “his brother killers haven’t been [brought] to justice,” as stated, (page 214). In a way I feel, Ben feels, it will be showing disrespect to his brother.
Angela Lewis feelings and the lack of emotions towards her dad are not surprising to me. When she says, “my reading about him [her father, James Earl Chaney] today is like reading about a stranger,” is normal (page 216). Lewis never met James, and probably never heard about him around the house, from her relatives, people in her family were or is still filling a sense of sadness like her grandmother, towards the death of James. “My grandmother is still hurt.., if you speak with her, you would sense that my father’s death just happen yesterday,[rather that nineteen plus years ago]” (page 216).
Angela and Ben, both have a sense of sadness for the lost of their love one, however, I feel one has moved on, Angela, while Ben is still holding on, waiting for justice, even though, as he express, “[he’s] changed,” (page.216). If I would have the chance to talk to Ben Chaney, one of my many questions I would ask him are; is this “project,” the seek to bring James killers to justices, one you would die for, or would this “quest” kill you first?

Ben Chaney and Angelia Lewis Brother and daughter of James Earl Chaney suffered through alot from the death of James chaney. Ben had been humalited by the public eye. he was then known as "liitle Ben Chaney"(page 206)." As a cluster of photographers circled him to snap his pictures, the twelve year old boy began to cry so hard that his thin body shuddered".(pg 206). that was so humaliting when you can't even you can't even have privacey to mourn of your brother. i know i couldn't take it.
Even though Angela Lewis was born a week after her father death. she didnt know him as a child but found about him when she was thirteen years old.
It was so sad when she said she didn't experiences any anger or deep sadness."My reading about him today is like reading about a stranger"(pg216). it really sad she couldn't now her father like she wanted to but she thought of him as a stanger. i don't think anyone want to be in that position.
