Unit III

Good day my people,

In Unit III, we've been contemplating the images, perceptions, and performance of black bodies.  We've had some rich dialogue, but I've challenged you to think about how black bodies can be manipulated by others.  So, I ask you: "In what ways do we see how 'others' control black bodies in society?"  Please be specific, and don't wait until the last minute, so that others can read your valuable insight.   I highly encourage you to include an element of multimedia to enhance your position.  Please refer to my blogging rubric found below.  I look forward to reading your comments!  Enjoy!
