Today,
we did a quick recap about the picture we had studied last time and we called it:
"a lynching party", "a necktie party".
The picture we studied is particularly infamous in the USA and throughout the world since there are only very few pictures about those cruel events.
You can read more about it on wikipedia: click here to be redirected to the
article.
Then, you had to describe a picture from your books p. 50. which was about a Black family in a cotton plantation. Here is what we said about it:
The picture actually deals with racial
segregation in the US in the 1950's.
It depicts two black men who are hanged on a tree. The mob / crowd is celebrating
their death / their sentence / their verdict / their white supremacy.
The two dead men may have committed a crime / may have killed someone.
The document depicts a lynching party / necktie party.
Finally, we read and explained the corresponding text. Here is what we said about the advantages and the drawbacks of music for slave owners and for slaves:
"to be written by Eliott".
HW: for tomorrow, you need to find information about:
1- the Civil War (what event + what dates) - Click here to access wikipedia
2- the civil rights movement (idem). - Click here to access wikipedia
3- You need to present and describe the picture corresponding to your group. We'll gather the information tomorrow.
