For Thursday (Sept. 30)

Jacob Lawrence on Prezi

For Thursday, we'll look at Jacob Lawrence's "Migration Series" (1941). Browse through all 60 panels.

Pick out a couple that you really like. Some things to pay attention to: how does Lawrence's vision of African-American life in the South compare to Attaway's? what are the elements of Lawrence's "folk" aesthetic? in Lawrence's series, what are the meanings that surround the Great Migration?

Be sure to tweet a discussion question about the "Migration Series" (#english630) before class.
