• present that cultural work and compare it to a work of black culture created within YOUR lifetime. The works do not have to share a form (i.e. a poem can be compared to a song; a painting can be compared to a sculpture, etc.).
• In presenting the works, you will need to provide a little bit of background information on your chosen works (i.e. when where the works created; who created them or made them famous; and, what impact did the works have on the cultural landscape when and since they first appeared?).
• You will also have to briefly explain why you made those particular selections and explain what you think each work tells people about congruencies and/or changes in the African-American experience from those eras. Create a project that your cohorts and will find both impressive and informative.
The response should include a reference list. Using double-space, Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
