Black History Month
Lorraine Hansberry (1930-1965)- Ms. Hansberry was the first African American female author to have a play on Broadway, A Raisin in the Sun. As a journalist, Ms. Hansberry worked to promote the Civil Rights Movement, but also to expose global imperialism and colonialism.

1. Two concepts we have focused on this school year have been Grit and Power. Grit is defined by Angela Duckworth "passion and perseverance for long-term goals." Max Weber defines power as: "The ability of an individual to achieve their own goals or aims when others are trying to prevent them from realizing them."
How do these two concepts intersect? How have you seen them applied with an effective result? (Think Sunday evening). What can you learn from these examples?
Make sure that you address the WHAT.... (Explaining what things mean... what examples you have. . what can be learned)
Address the HOW .... (How do you see these examples applied.... how did it happen . . . how do these concepts intersect)
Address the WHY . . . ( Why are these ideas important. . . why do you think these ideas are connected?)
MLA HEADING.
2. Read and Chill when you are done.
