The New York Times has a story today about the motorist guides for African-Americans that we discussed in class last week. Really interesting look at that time.

As we approach the end of the semester, some dates and information you should be aware of.
Friday, January 12:

After a serious amount of deliberation, I’ve decided to let you all of those who turned in a research paper have one more revision on the paper, including the people who did not submit papers for the first draft. I’m not excited about this, but it’s important that you learn the skills necessary to write a research paper before this year comes to an end.
The final draft will be due on Friday, Jan 12 in class. No exceptions, no late papers, no running to the library to print it at the start of class. To revise, you will need to do the following:
Failure to meet any of those expectations will mean no credit for the revision.
As a reminder, there are some excellent resources available to help you with the paper on this post.
Your first essay of 2018 will be another synthesis essay, this time on the topic of reparations for slavery.
It will be due on Sunday, January 7th at noon.
