In class we read essays from both Malcolm X and Frederick Douglass. Within these essays, both authors discussed their opinions on education. In this argumentative essay I compare and contrast Frederick Douglass’s and Malcolm X’s attitudes and approaches to education while arguing to the extent of which they are valid. 

For our AP Language class we have been reading "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" by Rebecca Skloot. Recently, we have completed reading part one of the book, and made a creative one-pager to display what we have read so far. More specifically, we wanted to highlight how Skloot transformed Henrietta Lacks from an abstraction to a person with her own universe of secrets, treasures, anguish, and triumph. That brings us to the main point of the project, which revolves around the quote “We must not see any person as an abstraction. Instead, we must see in every person a universe with its own secrets, with its own treasures, with its own sources of anguish, and with some measure of triumph" by Elie Wiesel in her book "The Nazi Doctors and the Nuremberg Code".

Elie Wiesel, Holocaust survivor and author of the Night trilogy, writes in his book, The Nazi Doctors and the Nuremberg Code, “We must not see any person as an abstraction. Instead, we must see in every person a universe with its own secrets, with its own treasures, with its own sources of anguish, and with some measure of triumph.”

Write an essay that argues your position on the extent to which Wiesel’s claim about humanity is valid.

As a class we created a set of slides explaining our point of views on the ethical use of AI in schools. Specifically our school, Charles R Drew Charter.
