Do the Right Thing

Yesterday in class we began the film Do the Right Thing. We'll be finishing it today.  Homework due today was to read, annotate and respond to sections V-VII of The Case for Reparations.  For Friday you have two tasks:
1) Finish reading and annotating the rest of The Case for Reparations. You do not need to do a final journal response. We'll develop those in class.
2) Complete a typed journal entry in response to these Do the Right Thing PROMPTS.
Here are the lyrics to Public Enemy's Fight the Power
