Important Roles in Douglass’s life: Frederick Douglass was… A former slave A powerful and influential black writer and orator A molder of public opinion A key player in politics after the end of the Civil War (notice the time period!) A supporter for women’s suffrage The first African American to run for Vice- President (1872)

Christian slaveholders agued that in In The Book of Genesis, Noah cursed his son Ham & his descendants to be slaves.

The Curse of Ham The Book of Genesis records an instance of Noah cursing his son Ham's descendants to be slaves. Although there is no biblical evidence that Ham was the "father" of African peoples, various Jewish, Christian and Islamic writers came to believe that he was, and their association helped to justify centuries of African enslavement. Propaganda- information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread widely to help or harm a person, group, movement, institution, nation, etc. – How is the Curse of Ham Propaganda?

Assignment: You are an Abolitionist… Your challenge is to create a Propaganda poster against the use of the Curse of Ham as a rationale for slavery for a specific audience. No more than 2 students per group You will draw for your audience of slaves, white southern plantation owners, northerners, or slave traders. Before you create your final product, you must show me an outline of your propaganda poster. You need to turn in a poster AND a written rationale.

The Media Backpack logo portrays the spirit of the outdoors through the mountain and hiker icons. The hiker is climbing and testing his/her skills to achieve a goal. Similarly, the readers/visitors to the Media Backpack will be educating and testing themselves in order to produce the various media required by their job. They may not have all the skills they need to reach their goal, but the media backpack will be there to help along their arduous climb. The clean, hard and angular lines of the ‘m’ icon and mountain compliment the typeface selection.
