Description
In this lesson, students place Audre Lorde’s poem, “From the House of Yemanjá” in conversation with the other three texts in this module: “Of Our Spiritual Strivings” by W. E. B. Du Bois, “Atlanta Compromise Speech” by Booker T. Washington, and “An Address by Elizabeth Cady Stanton.” Students make connections across these three texts and “From the House of Yemanjá,” analyzing how the development of ideas and events in the non-fiction texts refines their understanding of the central ideas in Lorde’s poem.
