• Bell Work-1.) Who is speaking in this primary source excerpt? 2.) Based on the primary source can you distinguish why the speaker feels that jazz is “an inherent expression of Negro life”? 3.) Judge the value of the statement “But, to my mind, it is the duty of the younger Negro artist … to change thought he force of his art that old whispering ‘I want to be white’, hidden in the aspirations of his people, to ‘Why should I want to be white? I am Negro-and beautiful”. Why is a view like this a positive approach to the challenges of racial discrimination?

• Bell Work-1.) Describe what is happening in the political cartoon? 2.) Based on the content of the political cartoon what is the artist to say is the role of lobbyists within our political system? (Try to stay away from just saying they’re bribing congress, think deeper) 3.) Suppose you could create new legislation that would force lobbyists to disclose every dollar they “donated” to the public. At what dollar amount, would you make them start disclosing their donations and do you think that this will help or hinder Congress’ ability to pass new laws?
