The Day After
Today in class we spoke about MLK Jr. on love and shared responses in the 8-9 AM class. In the second hour, some students thought they were to complete the response in class, so I allowed those students to do their assignments in class and others took the opportunity to read Alice Walker: A Life where we are up to Part 3. While reading Alice Walker: A Life jot down notes about the chapters, vocabulary, questions and themes that reoccur that interest you. We will be looking at Alice Walker, the writer and what this means for her.

Rudy posed the question about Walker's abortion and her potential suicide. Angel said that she wondered about Walker's speed to correct any slights or misinterpretations about her writing, and her patience or tolerance or even, nonchalance about personal slights or misunderstanding.

Post the King responses where the assignment is. You can tell you are correct because other students have posted assignments there. Don't forget to respond to another student's Love assignment tomorrow sometime. I will be posting another Walker Cyber Dialogue tomorrow for reflections up to Part 2.

Oh, Vasquez and Faraj were looking at Youtube videos interviews on MLK Jr. on Malcolm X and Malcolm X on MLK Jr. The two perspectives were provide an interesting take on the theme "love." I think both men loved black people and wanted the best for them. It was the strategy that differed. I listened to an audio recording where Malcolm X told Martin King's wife that he supported King and didn't want to detract from his work with his presence. If I can find the book with the audio recording, I'll bring it in and let you hear it and see the photo of Malcolm X and Coretta Scott King. I told the early class that I have a James Baldwin essay where he reflects on King. Baldwin loved Martin King and supported his work also.

The divisions created between leaders are often fictional, spurred on by media and propaganda. This is why it's important to check one's sources. I also told the early class when we were talking about Alice Walker's brief class with Headstart teachers, that I have an essay where she talks about this job (In Search of My Mother's Gardens).

We'll read them when we have more time. Start thinking about topics you might want to explore in an essay based on this book: Alice Walker: A Life.

In the early class we referred to Baldwin's letter to James and what he says about love.

I read the post related love and their meaning. Different people have a different point of view about love and their actions take place in the different type of situations. The environment of the class is the example https://www.dnpcapstoneproject.com/best-dnp-capstone-project-ideas/ for those type of students who have not to take an interest in class environments.
