Langston Hughes and Gwendolyn Brooks / Poetic Visions of Reality
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page piece that seeks to prove that Gwendolyn Brooks' 'We Real Cool, The Pool Players. Seven at the Golden Shovel,' and Langston Hughes' 'A Dream Deferred' are not mere observations about life on the streets, they are poems that speak of dashed dreams. They were not penned merely to express internal or external suffering observed, but for the love of community. They were written not merely to point out desolation in the community, but to point out the necessity for self-empowerment. The poems spoke of the present, how it relates to the past and its relationship to the future. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

It is argued that integration damaged some of the pride and cultural experience that Black athletes enjoyed in the Negro Leagues. Desegregation brought about major opposition, ridicule, shame, etc; Irony exists in the fact that Blacks were allowed to fight and die for America-- but they could not play baseball.

Jackie Robinson's Enduring Legacy
[ send me this paper ]
An 11 page paper on baseball's first enduring black player.

Always outspoken on racial issues, he maintained his promise of 2 years' worth of no visible reaction to the verbal abuse all involved, including him, knew he would suffer. After that, it was no holds barred while he meanwhile gathered award after award. He committed a lifetime to civil rights work, using baseball as a stage from which to speak.
