We will share our social commentary pieces and have class discussion about why they are social commentary (as we did with The Wizard of Oz in 1Black, last time)
We will hear social commentary from "beyond the grave" from Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy, and Langston Hughes (and perhaps Malcolm X), as well as current social commentary from the Chief Operations Office of the Baltimore Orioles.
We will apply this to how The Crucible was social commentary during the Red Scare and McCarthyism.
