Background: Hansberry• Lorraine Hansberry was born at Provident Hospital on the South Side of Chicago on May 19, 1930. She

was the youngest of Nannie Perry Hansberry and Carl Augustus Hansberry’s four children. Her father founded Lake Street Bank, one of the first banks for blacks in Chicago, and ran a successful real estate business. Her uncle was William Leo Hansberry, a scholar of African studies at Howard University in Washington, D.C.• Many prominent African American social and political leaders visited the Hansberry household during

Lorraine’s childhood including sociology professor W.E.B. DuBois, poet Langston Hughes, actor and political activist Paul Robeson, musician Duke Ellington and Olympic gold medalist Jesse Owens.• Despite their middle-class status, the Hansberrys were subject to segregation. When she was 8 years

old, Hansberry’s family deliberately attempted to move into a restricted neighborhood. Restrictive covenants, in which white property owners agreed not to sell to blacks, created a ghetto known as the “Black Belt” on Chicago’s South Side. Carl Hansberry, with the help of Harry H. Pace, president of the Supreme Liberty Life Insurance Company and several white realtors, secretly bought property at 413 E. 60th Street and 6140 S. Rhodes Avenue. The Hansberrys moved into the house on Rhodes Avenue in May 1937. The family was threatened by a white mob, which threw a brick through a window, narrowly missing Lorraine. The Supreme Court of Illinois upheld the legality of the restrictive covenant and forced the family to leave the house.

Editing is defiantly important

• Errors can destract engaged, intelligent audience members• Even clever visuals and engaging

speaking cannot make up for [add in list later]• Vague stuff can cause more questions

then answers• Visual aids should aid understanding;

errors distract from meaning

Provide meaningful visuals•Text should be readable – consider size, font, and background•Photos or clip art should be related to text and aid in understanding•Choosing the first MS Powerpoint template available will not make your presentation more memorable

Gatsby

“There was music from my neighbor’s house through the summer nights. In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars. At high tide in the afternoon I watched his guests diving from the tower of his raft, or taking the sun on the hot sand of his beach while his two motor-boats slit the waters of the Sound, drawing aquaplanes over cataracts of foam. On week-ends his Rolls-Royce became an omnibus, bearing parties to and from the city between nine in the morning and long past midnight, while his station wagon scampered like a brisk yellow bug to meet all trains. And on Mondays eight servants, including an extra gardener, toiled all day with mops and scrubbing-brushes and hammers and garden-shears, repairing the ravages of the night before.” – The Great Gatsby

The American Dream: Liberty“I was a-trembling, because I’d got to decide, forever, betwixt two things . . . and then says to myself: ‘All right then, I’ll go to hell’—and tore it up. It was awful thoughts and awful words, but they was said.”

– The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
