    1. Parting Ways

      Summary: "Parting Ways" by James F. Deetz is an article that covers the story about four african american men who turned an oppurtunity into something bigger.Their names were Carl Howe, Prince Goodwin, Plato Turner, and Quamany. Carl Howe was granted a small plot of land once he finished serving the continental army. During those times, work oppurtunities and housing were hard to come by for african americans, free or enslaved. So Carl Howe turned his little property to an entire community for african americans who couldnt obtain land themselves. James Deetz states that one of the men, Prince Goodwin, was still a slave due to deserting the war. Don't when a soldier deserts a war or the military he/she is punished with jailtime or even death? But instead Prince Goodwin returned to his original life as a slave which is also bad. The supplemental reading "Black Lives Matter" relates to Parting Ways in numerous ways. BLM article is basically about how the phrase Black Lives Matter became and how it spreadedaround college campuses and the nation as a whole. Black Lives Matter started as just a hashtag then became something bigger and a official organization whish holds a chapter in each major city. Black Lives Matter got their power by occupying public places and causing a disturbance, such as marching on a highway, to give their voice on how life in America is hard for an African American. A relate these two articles together because bother Black Lives Matter Activist and the four african american men turned a small oppurtunity or window into something bigger and better. The four men turned a plot into a coummunity while BLM activist turned a platform such as twitter into something bigger like an official organization. Altman, A. (2015).
