  1. Battle Royal Background

  2. Internal & External Conflict • Double Consciousness: (W. E. B. Du Bois) “It is a peculiar sensation, this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at one's self through the eyes of others, of measuring one's soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity. One ever feels his two-ness,--an American, a Negro; two warring souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder”

  3. Reconstruction – The era following the Civil War, 1863-1877. • Southern States went from riches to rags • Freed slaves were now voting citizens

  4. Booker T. Washington • 1856-1914 • African American educator and political leader • Believed that African Americans should pursue economic success in order to earn respect from White Americans • Discouraged disobedience and outright hostility

  5. Minstrel Show – “Black Face,” African Americans viewed as carefree, unintelligent, clownish entertainment

  6. Social Responsibility • Everyone – as individuals and as organizations – has a duty to help maintain the balance between what is good for themselves and what is good for the society around them.
