For this blog post, I am asking you to consider the role of African American athletes in the United States. What is their responsibility to the citizens who share their race? Is it appropriate for them to use their position in the spotlight to protest inequality in our country? Following the models of the editorials in The Washington Post and USA Today , provide your personal opinion on this question.
You may cite any of the individuals or events that we mentioned in class, and you may also go beyond these instances and reference other African American athletes. I am giving you extra time for this assignment because I would like you to incorporate some independent research.
I would also like you to make this a mixed media assignment. Blogger has the ability for you to link images, videos and links to websites into your blog post. In order to receive full credit for this assignment, you will need to include at least one image in your post AND use at least one link or video to enhance our understanding of your position on this issue.
If you need help learning to use Blogger's advanced features, please come to CP for assistance.
As with any reflective blog post, you need to edit carefully and meet the 300 word minimum. I am looking forward to reading your thoughts on this!
