1) James Weldon Johnson Residence – Harlem home of African-American artist-activist James Weldon Johnson. He led the NAACP.
2) 69th Regiment Armory – The watershed Armory Show of 1913 took place here , which introduced America to modern art.
3) Jackie Robinson’s house – Jackie Robinson broke the color line in America’s favorite pastime which contributed significantly to the civil rights movement.
Do any of these fit the bill for this assignment or are they already too well known?
Those are all excellent ideas. Thanks for posting them.
Ive been to many events at the Armory. I don’t think they are set up to explain their role in the armory show, though if they were, I’d love to make that something we studied.
Jackie R is a terrific idea, and has the advantage of being about Brooklyn,
One of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen in my life about anything is one that was made for HBO about the Dodgers. So my immediate inclination would be to say, “Let’s do Jackie R”and watch this documentary in class. What do people think of that idea?
There are no openings for either the Daily Show or Colbert anytime soon.
But Jazz at LC would also be great.
I don’t know anything about Mr. Johnson
Reactions, people?
And thanks again
