Question 1 is based on the excerpt below (found on pg. 494 in your book)

"Through his artistic efforts the Negro is smashing this immemorial stereotype faster than he has ever done through any other method he has been able to use...He is impressing upon the national mind the conviction that he is an active and important force in American life; that he is a creature; that he has given as well as received; that he is a potential giver of larger and richer contributions...
     "I do not think it too much to say that through artistic achievement the Negro has found a means of getting at the very core of the prejudice against him by challenging the Nordic superiority complex.  A great deal has been published in this decade of "renaissance."  


- JAMES WELDON JOHNSON,  POET AND SECRETARY OF THE NAACP, HARPER'S, 1928   

1.  Using the excerpt, answer A, B, and C.

A.  Briefly explain ONE way the Harlem Renaissance supported the point of view in the excerpt.  

B.  Briefly explain ONE example of an African American artists' achievement from the era that would support this excerpt.

C.  Briefly explain what the author most likely meant by "the very core of prejudice" faced by African Americans in the 1920's.


Question 2 is based on the excerpts below (found on pg. 495 in your book)


"I couldn't forgive him or like him, but I saw that what he had done was, to him, entirely justified.  It was all very careless and confused.  They were careless people, Tom and Daisy - they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that keep them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made."


- F. SCOTT FITZGERALD, NOVELIST, THE GREAT GATSBY, 1925

"Never was a decade snuffed out so quickly as the 1920's.  The stock market crash was taken as a judgment pronounced on the whole era, and in the grim days of depression, the 1920's were condemned as a time of irresponsibility and immaturity."


-WILLIAM E. LEUCHTENBURG, HISTORIAN, THE PERILS OF PROSPERITY, 1959


2.  Using the excerpts, answer A, B, and C.

A.  Briefly explain ONE social development in the 1920's that supports the Fitzgerald quote.

B.  Briefly explain ONE economic development in the 1920's that supports Leuchtenburg's argument.
