Assignments for 10/2

• The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin. This short book is available in the Class Books folder.
• Reading about cars and cities:
  • America on the Move (Smithsonian American History). These are quick reads. Focus on
    • The Connected City (NYC in the 1920s)
    • City and Suburb (Chicago in the 1950s).
  • America’s Assembly Line, Chapter 7: Discontent. Read the entire chapter, but pay special attention starting at my comment on page 177.
  • Crenshaw: Why Intersectionality Can’t Wait (Washington Post). How is this article related to cars and/or cities?
