ENGL 281 Lecture Notes - Lecture 26: White Supremacy, Planation Surface
Document Summary
Stigmatized as a white negro for centering more on advancing. Here we have something similar to the claim of humanity in the as a people economically and academically rather than through rights, but maybe that was not his goal. Does not blame him for not caring for him or his mother, saying he was just another victim of the institution which the nation unhappily had engrafted upon it at that time . Knows nothing about his father other than he was probably a: life on the plantation, interesting sentiments, memories of the small cabin where he lived. His first mention of seeing a schoolhouse leaves his with the desire to learn as a means of escaping slavery. Sees it as a paradise: aspires not to white"s, but rather the advantages that they had, such as eating freely, talking freely etc.
