APELC Class Notes

Objectives: AEPCLers 1) processed an autobiography, and 2) researched their worldviews.

We finished The Autobiography of Malcolm X today with little fanfare, first and third. Cody asked a question about race, pigmentation, and designation when he entered class that was relevant to our reading and connected to our discussion of identity last week nicely. It made me think of the following article “‘White African-American’ Suing N.J. Med School for Discrimination”. I’ve not been able to find any more on the story since it broke, but I did find the article that Serodio wrote that apparently escalated his trouble at AllaboutRace.com: “Africa 102: A more colorful view than black and white”. For even more, see the Wikipedia entry “African American”.

See you next week for the practice exam; don’t forget your Brady process.
