political activity | My Assignment Tutor

1) Using your own independent research, provide some ideas about the question: “What was Rosa Parks’ political activity before her bus protest?” — This question emphasizes that everyone we are hoping to study did not “come from nowhere,” but are part of a long, ongoing political legacy. Please make sure to cite any sources you use (try not to use Wikipedia!).  (2) Who was Claudette Colvin? Please make sure to cite your sources. (3) Read Claudia Jones’ piece “End to the Neglect of the Problems of Black Women!” (on Google Drive and Blackboard) and respond to the piece with comments, questions, quotations, observations. — There is also a full PDF of Carole Boyce Davies’ biography of Claudia Jones, which you do not have to read but is available as a contextual resource. This piece will address political concerns between Black women organizers and the Communist Party, among other topics.  (4) Read “Lynch Law in Georgia” by Ida B. Wells (on Google Drive and Blackboard) and respond to the piece with comments,questions, quotations, observations. This piece will contextualize radical political activity against lynching, as we discussed with Billie Holiday’s music.
