Hey,
after doing a quick blind test about Afro-American music, we spoke about the different music genres with Afro-American roots. We also commented on the pictures pp. 50 and 51.
Here is what we wrote:
- A band of Blacks and Whites are playing Jazz.
- They seem to be having fun.
Symbol: Jazz was a federating genre. It was the first time that Blacks and Whites were together. Even though there was segregation, music rubbed out racial problems.
Conclusion: Black women were the first ones to protest and sensitize public opinion about racial and sexual segregation. They claimed their rights. (cf "respect", Aretha Franklin)
Watch this video of a black woman (Aretha Franklin) who got involved in both the civil rights movement and the fight for equal rights between men and women:

By the way, women's right to vote in the US was granted in 1920... much earlier than what I told... I really thought it was at the same time as the civil rights movement but I happened to be wrong... sorry about that... You can click here to learn more about the subject.
HW: during the vacation, I asked you to complete the assignment p. 71. It's an essay about politics and stars. Should celebrities get involved in charities? why or why not? what's your opinion about it? Follow the instructions given, and I'm sure you'll do a great job!
