BP #8 - Group Research Project - Protests (DIRECTIONS)

Please post the names of all group members at the top of your blog post.

You are going to consider the information about protests that Bessie talked about in Chapter 21.  She talked about how there were many protests going on in Harlem and in the United States back in the 1920s-1930s.  She said that there were two kinds of protestors:

• People like Booker T. Washington (whose beliefs were more like Sadie's)
• People like W.E.B. Du Bois (whose beliefs were similar to Bessie's)

For BP #8, please do the following:

1. Please describe the two different types of activists.
2. Research either Booker T. Washington or W. E. B. Du Bois on the Internet and add information about one of them.
3. Decide which type your group members would be more likely to join and describe why.
4. Research recent protest activity in the United States, such as Occupy Wall Street, Students for a Free CUNY, or other Occupy groups, and add information about these modern protestors to your blog post.
