Early Dismissal
Jim Crow was the name of the racial caste system that operated primarily, but not exclusively in southern and border states, between 1877 and the mid-1960s.
More than just a series of rigid anti-Black laws. It was a way of life.
African-Americans were second-class citizens.
People who advocated Jim Crow Laws believed that Whites were superior to Blacks in all important ways—intelligence, morality, and civilized behavior.
They believed that violence should be used in order to keep Blacks at the bottom of the racial hierarchy.
A Black male could not offer his hand (to shake hands) with a White male because it implied being socially equal.
A Black male could not offer his hand or any other part of his body to a White woman, because he risked being accused of rape.
Blacks and whites were not supposed to eat together. If they did eat together, Whites were to be served first, and some sort of partition was to be placed between them.
If a Black person rode in a car driven by a White person, the Black person sat in the back seat, or the back of a truck.
White motorists had the right-of-way at all intersections.
Never assert that a White person is lying.
Never suggest that a White person is from an inferior class.
Never demonstrate superior knowledge or intelligence.
Never curse a White person.
Never laugh at a White person, or comment about his appearance.
Violence was a method of social control Most extreme form was lynching Lynchings were Public, sadistic, and carried out by mobs Lynchings were viewed as distasteful,
but necessary
No other crime in history produced as many trials, convictions, reversals, and retrials
Involved nine black teenage boys and two white girls on a Southern Railroad freight train run on March 25, 1931
Hoboeing was a common pastime in Depression era
A bunch of white and black teens hopped the rail cars; a fight broke out. Nine black teens on the train were arrested and taken to Scottsboro.
Two millworkers from Huntsville, Victoria Price and Ruby Bates were also on the train
Victoria told officials that she had been raped by six of the nine boys.
Officials concluded that the others had raped Ruby
Clarence Norris, one of the accused, called the girls liars and was struck by a bayonet
Defense lawyers were incompetent—they wanted all boys tried together. The cross-examination of Victoria Price was only a few minutes long, and the examining doctors weren’t even cross-examined.
Guilty verdicts were announced in the first trial
Four trials were over, eight of the nine Scottsboro Boys were convicted and sent to death. Mistrial declared for Roy Wright, just twelve years old at the time.
The NAACP, concerned about its image, stayed out of trial
Communist Party supported the boys’ perspetive—it wanted to unite southern blacks and northern liberals
Seven of the nine were held in jail for over six years without trial
Either through parole or escapes all of the Scottsboro Boys eventually found their way out of Alabama
On January 23, 1989, the last of the Scottsboro Boys died
Case is considered one of the most shameful examples of injustice in our history. The accused were presumed guilty unless they could prove their innocence beyond a reasonable doubt.
To jurors, black lives didn’t count for much.
Born as Nelle in Monroeville, Alabama , August 28, 1926.
Father was a newspaper editor, then a lawyer
Lee was a tomboy and a precocious reader Enjoyed the friendship of her schoolmate
and neighbor, famous writer Truman Capote Lee was five years old when in Scottsboro,
Alabama, the first trials began surrounding the purported rapes of two white women by nine young black men
The defendants were nearly lynched before being brought to court
Lee pursued a law degree at the University of Alabama, but did not finish.
She moved to New York City in 1950 Worked as a reservation clerk with Eastern
Air Lines Her friends Michael Brown and Joy Williams
Brown funded her dream to become a writer. On Christmas in1956, they wrote Lee a note “You have one year off from your job to write whatever you please. Merry Christmas.”
Within a year she wrote To Kill a Mockingbird.
The novel was published in 1960; an immediate success
Lee won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in1961. In 1999, the novel was voted “Best Novel of the
Century” in a poll conducted by the Library Journal On October 30, 2007, President Bush has presented
the nation's highest civilian award to eight people, including Harper Lee
In a letter published to Oprah Winfrey, Lee wrote about her life, “Now, 75 years later in an abundant society where people have laptops, cell phones, iPods, and minds like empty rooms, I still plod along with books.”
She’s also been recorded to say, “it’s better to be silent than to be a fool.”

basic character changes during the course of the story.
Dynamic characters that experience changes throughout the plot of a story. Although the change may be sudden, it is expected based on the story’s events.

Verbal irony (also called sarcasm) -- a writer makes a statement in which the actual meaning differs from the meaning that the words appear to express.
Situational irony -- accidental events occur that seem oddly appropriate, such as the poetic justice of a TV weather presenter getting caught in a surprise rainstorm.
Dramatic irony -- a narrative in which the reader knows something about present or future circumstances that a character in the story does not know.

First, Read the question and discuss it with each other.
Then, agree on the response you will record on the paper at each station. You will have about 3 minutes at each station and you MUST record something. **I must see ALL group members contributing in order for you to earn participation points for today’s activity**
When you get to station with answers recorded already, read others’ responses and discuss. You must ADD to their responses with additional support (an example or quote from the book, an additional real life example, etc).
