The Only Man on Liberty Street By William Melvin Kelley

Warm Up Activity What’s your general feeling about interracial marriages? Do you support it? Why or why not? What are some of the challenges and rewards of being a mix-raced child?

Round Robin Each person must share his/her response. No interruptions or discussions until everyone has shared.

Making Predictions Based on our discussions in the warm up activity and the title, what do you think the story is going to be about? One or two sentence answer is unacceptable.

Annotations Summarize Ask questions Make comments predict

Plot Diagram Draw a plot diagram Explain the conflict

Character Analysis For each character, gather evidence to analyze the characters: Name Who is this person? (race/ethnicity/class) How does the person look like? How does the person behave? What can we infer from their behaviors and attitude?

Instructions for Discussion Questions ALWAYS find quotations to support your answer. When you share your answer, say your answer first. Then tell the class what page and paragraph is your quotation before reading it to the class.

Discussion Questions What kind of prejudice do you see in this story? Find two examples. What is Mr. Herder’s conflict? How does Mr. Herder’s racial background create this conflict? How would you resolve the conflict if you were Mr. Herder? How does Mr. Herder’s wife use racism to justify her violence?

Discussion Questions Why is the story titled “The Only Man on Liberty Street”? Why is Mr. Herder considered as “the only man”? What is the theme of the story?

Interpretations & Evaluations (2-chunk) In your opinion, how does Jennie view race in her society? Mr. Herder is the only non-prejudice white in the story and the rest of society is prejudice. What message do you think Kelley is trying to convey?
