Primary Source Homework

Our focus next week will be on the following topic:
"Resolved: American slavery is an oxymoron."

Your homework for Tuesday is to prepare to discuss this topic as one of the following individuals: Thomas Jefferson, Venture Smith, George Washington, Abigail Adams, Benjamin Banneker, Lord Dunmore, and Phillis Wheatley.

Your number (assigned in class) will identify which person you are responsible for researching. Your homework is to click on the link associated with that person's name and read the primary source (or information provided) for December 9... in some cases, you will have to click on the picture to the left to access the primary source information.
