Assignment 01: Davis on Race & Class

Due Monday, February 6th, by midnight. Word count: 300 words. Please make sure everything is in your own words. Absolutely no quotes should be used. If you paraphrase from the text (from Davis or anywhere else), you must be sure to include the proper citation (either MLA or APA).

Angela Davis begins chapter three, on “Class and Race in the Women’s Rights Campaign,” with an account of the Convention at Seneca Falls. However, intermingled with this account of women’s liberation are details about the life and work of others such as Charlotte Woodward and Sojourner Truth. In your own words, describe what you think Davis is trying to tell us about the convention and its outcomes.
