I Hope You Read Chapter 1 of Uncle Tom's Cabin!!!
Today, YOU will lead discussion - - We shall all take turns!!!
But, first we shall watch a short clip from the 1934's version of Imitation of Life with Claudette Colbert
(focusing on the scene of Aunt Delilah's Homemade Pancakes)
Some Background Information on Aunt Jemima:
Aunt Jemima has a rich history spanning over 115 years. Read on to learn more about important milestones in the fascinating history of the Aunt Jemima brand.
1889
Chris Rutt and Charles Underwood of the Pearl Milling Company developed Aunt Jemima, the first ready mix.
1890
R.T. Davis purchased the struggling Aunt Jemima Manufacturing Company. He then brought the Aunt Jemima character to life when he hired Nancy Green as his spokeswoman.
1914
The image of Aunt Jemima was so popular that the company was renamed the Aunt Jemima Mills Company.
1926
The Quaker Oats Company purchased the Aunt Jemima Mills Company.
1933
For the Chicago World’s Fair in 1933, the advertising planners decided to bring the Aunt Jemima character back to life. They hired Anna Robinson, described as a large, gregarious woman with the face of an angel. She traveled the country promoting Aunt Jemima until her death in 1951.
1937
Quaker’s first registration of the Aunt Jemima trademark occurred in April, 1937.
1955
From the mid 1950’s until the late 1960’s Aylene Lewis was hired to portray Aunt Jemima at the Aunt Jemima restaurant in the newly opened Disneyland.
1957
Quaker introduced Aunt Jemima Buttermilk Pancake & Waffle Mix. Also at this time, Quaker began to advertise on television, showing kids and moms making not just pancakes but, “Aunt Jemimas”.
1966
Quaker introduced syrup under the Aunt Jemima trademark and used the campaign, “Aunt Jemima, what took you so long?”.
1968
Quaker introduced the Aunt Jemima frozen waffle and advertised it with a “toaster jingle”. In the same year Quaker also began the seven years running campaign using the song, “Aunt Jemima Syrup, Pancakes or Waffles without her…”.
1970
Quaker introduced two new items geared towards convenience: Aunt Jemima Complete Pancake & Waffle Mix (“Just Add Water”) and Aunt Jemima Frozen French Toast.
1979
Quaker introduced Aunt Jemima Lite Syrup and featured a “Lite Contest” message on television, which ran for the next three years.
1981
Quaker began a campaign for frozen products, “Just Like Mommy Makes.” The campaign ran for four years.
1985
Quaker introduced Aunt Jemima Butter Lite syrup.
1986
Another campaign, “Nothing Could be Finer” promoted all of the Aunt Jemima products.
1989
In 1989, the image of Aunt Jemima was updated by removing her headband and giving her pearl earrings and a lace collar.
1991
Quaker introduced Aunt Jemima Butter Rich syrup.
1992
During a frozen package redesign Quaker tilted Aunt Jemima’s head into a more upright position.
1996
Aunt Jemima frozen products were licensed out to Pinnacle Foods Corporation.
TODAY
The Aunt Jemima products continue to stand for warmth, nourishment and trust – qualities you’ll find in loving moms from diverse backgrounds who care for and want the very best for their families.
What is most striking about the HISTORY of the Aunt Jemima brand?

IV. Poem - Langston Hughes’ “I, Too, Sing America”
V. Song/Video - “Successful” by Drake featuring Trey Songz

Option I – Quotes by Henry David Thoreau
“I HEARTILY ACCEPT the motto, ‘That government is best which govern least’ (Henry David Thoreau, Civil Disobedience)
“But, to speak practically and as a citizen, unlike those who call themselves no-government men, I ask for, not at once no government, but at once a better government. (Henry David Thoreau, Civil Disobedience)
“How does it become a man to behave toward this American government today? I answer, that he cannot without disgrace be associated with it. I cannot for an instant recognize that political organization as my government which is the slave’s government also. (Henry David Thoreau, Civil Disobedience)
Option II – Quote by Adam Smith from A Wealth of Nations
"Among men, on the contrary, the most dissimilar geniuses are of use to one another; the different produces of their respective talents, by the general disposition to truck, barter, and exchange, being brought, as it were, into a common stock…”
Option III – Racial Profiling Clip about Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
(Think about Professor Gates’ reaction in the clip.)
Option IV – Poem: Langston Hughes’ “I, Too, Sing America”
I, too, sing America.
I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.
Tomorrow,
I'll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody'll dare
Say to me,
"Eat in the kitchen,"
Then.
Besides,
They'll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed--
I, too, am America.

We shall finish our DEBATE activity!!
We shall begin reading Chapter 11 of the Frederick Douglass Narrative and consider the following questions:
What reasons does Douglass give for not describing more of his manner of escape? From his other writings, how in fact was this escape affected?
What immediate considerations prompted Douglass to act? How did he plan to leave without arousing suspicion?
What aspects of his escape does he especially remember?
What part does his intended wife play in these recollections?
How does he choose his new name? Why may he have found it fitting?
What aspects of New Bedford life surprised him? What difficulties followed him in the exercise of his work?
What publication especially inspired Douglass? How did he commence his career as an orator and writer?
What is the effect of the book's closure?

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre's Wade in the Water
We will explore the following questions as a group:
How did Mr. Covey treat Douglass and his peers? What enabled Douglass to survive the incidents of the oxen and the beatings?
What psychological effect did Covey's brutality have on Douglass? What thoughts or hopes encouraged him in his despair? (pg. 46)
What assistance in his plight did Douglass seek? What responses did he receive? Why do you think Mr. Auld refused to help him?
Why do you think Douglass included the incident of Sandy's offer of the root? What seems to have been Douglass' attitude toward this form of African folk practice?
How did Douglass regain his self-confidence? How does he add interest to his description of his long fight with Mr. Covey?
How does he analyze the fact that Mr. Covey failed to prosecute him for resistance? What lesson does he seem to have gained from this experience?
How does Douglass interpret the motives and psychological effects of the owner's encouragement of excess among the slaves during holidays? Do you think his analysis may be correct?
What improvements does Douglass find in his labors for Mr. Freeland?
What were the results of Douglass's efforts to teach his fellow slaves?
How did he and his friends resolve to emancipate themselves, and how is their effort failed?
Why do you think Mr. Auld sent the imprisoned Douglass back to Baltimore, rather than punishing him more severely?
In Baltimore, how was Douglass treated in Mr. Gardner's shipyard, and how did he resist? Why was his master unable to obtain legal redress on his behalf?
What trade did he learn, and how did this alter his status?
