M2D1: African American Culture Under Slavery

This activity will enable you to:

Examine the development of a unique African American culture under slavery and its effects on American culture today (CO#1).

Your readings have probably opened your eyes to the rich and unique cultures that Africans developed, even while they were in slavery in North America.

Keeping that in mind, respond to the following:

What do folk culture, literature, and spirituals suggest to us about African American culture under slavery? Explain your answer.

Do you see any reflections of these in the American culture and society of today? Give examples to support your answer.

Post your primary response in a minimum of 125 words. Be sure to review your writing for grammar and spelling before posting.

Read any postings already provided by your instructor or fellow students. Read and respond to the conclusions drawn by at least two of your classmates. Responses should be written in a respectful, academic manner.

Remember to read the feedback to your own major postings and reply to it throughout the module.
