Create a Chronology of Black Springfield, 1650-1950

1. Think in terms of centuries and decades

2. Think about major events and historical figures

3. What themes emerge from the timeline?

Work on this timeline during first hour of class. Use the texts I’ve provided you with and other resources on the internet.  Research/identify any media (photos, audio, video) that explain or inform about elements in or themes that arise from the chronology. Here are some good models:

Bring laptops, ipads, etc. with which to do this research in class. Let class meet in rool 309 in New Africa House (where we were last week).
