"The Spirit of the Million Man March" and "The Botany of Desire"


Michael Pollan's Introduction to The Botany of Desire is available for viewing and download. Read this for Friday, October 20, and instead of the usual notebook questions, articulate the basic premise for Pollan’s book. Sum it up in your own words and quote a moment where he sums it up himself.

On Wednesday in class, we listened to an episode of the Historically Black podcast, "The Spirit of the Million Man March." As you listen, please take note of the following:
  • Two detailed memories that Kamille Washington shares
  • Two detailed memories that B. T. Washington shares
  • At least two moments of reflection from either or both voices
  • At least one historical fact or bit of information from either or both voices
  • Two historical facts or bits of information from another source (narrator Keegan Michael Key or other voices the podcast quotes)
