1. Zora Neal Hurston's article is a veritable call to arms for publishers to acknowledge the average and 'true' Negro; one that feels and loves like normal (white) people. Is there even a popular genre for the normal white in today's society? Will there ever be one for the normal black?
2. What does the structure and layout of 'Runagate' add to the meaning? Also word choice and punctuation
3. Why does Hayden see freedom as a 'beautiful and terrible thing' in 'Frederick Douglass? Have any other poems or readings given you this feel or understanding of freedom?
4. What does Cullen's 'Heritage' evoke? What emotions? feelings? beliefs? Is he right? Can this constitute as a mask? a double consciousness?
5. What do you make of Cullen's feelings toward Christianity in both 'Heritage' and 'From the Dark Tower? Does "From the Darl Tower" encourage meekness or action?
