"To the natural philosopher there is no natural object unimportant or trifling…a soap bubble…an apple…a pebble…He walks in the midst of wonders." John Herschel, A Preliminary Discourse on the Study of Natural Philosophy (1830)

Homework for Thursday, Jan. 31
In preparation for reading and seeing a performance of August Wilson's Two Trains Running, read and annotate the handout of entries from the Encyclopedia Africana on "Black Power," "Black Nationalism," and "Hair and Beauty Culture." Also, click here to read about "urban renewal" in Syracuse. (This is a cached copy of the link; be patient while it loads. The current page wasn't working when I tried to post it here.) There is no writing for tonight; you will write in class.
