For the first paper assignment

, watch one of these two films:

1)

I Am Not Your Negro

by Raoul Peck. This film is based on James Baldwin’s unfinished

manuscript,

Remember This House

, a memoir of Baldwin’s personal recollections of civil rights

leaders Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King, Jr. and their struggles. Available at the

university website

2)

Brother Outsider

, a documentary about the Civil Rights freedom fighter Bayard Rustin.

After watching one of these two films, write a three-page response (12-point font-Times New

Roman, double-spaced). What aspects of the film caught your attention? Why? Most importantly,

what aspects of the film can you relate to the topics we have read about and discussed in class (the

construction of identity, class identity, social mobilization, race identity, gender identity, sexual

orientation and identity, etc. and their intersections)? Given the page limitations, it is better for you

to go straight to the point rather than devoting space to long introductions, descriptions, quotations

or definitions. The purpose of the paper is to reflect and find connections with the course material

(readings, discussions, presentations, etc.). Be sure to demonstrate that you watched the entire film

and not just a portion of it. REMEMBER TO CITE YOUR SOURCES IF YOU USE ANY,

otherwise it is plagiarism!
