Due to some supply issues we will allow scholars an extra couple of days to read ABC—borrow from friends who have already read it, get copies or download on the computers. However, by Friday, April 8, it is everyone's responsibility to have read ABC, by Yang ready for discussions and written responses that not only reflect classroom discussions, but personal opinions from interacting with it and the Introduction and short Essays excerpted from Chinese America: The Untold Story of America’s Oldest New Community, by Peter Kwong & Dusanka Miscevic.
Additionally, those finished with ABC should sign out Yang's other one The Eternal Smile on Ms. Walrond's desk and read that as supporting information toward the same themes of Identity, Escapism, Racist Epithets and other themes discussed in Peter Kwong & Dusanka Miscevic's Introduction and short Essays.
Be prepared for a final write-up without notes comparing these two Chinese-American POVs.

Otherwise, any other Graphic Novel of choice should be read in the interim between finishing out The Gilded Age and beginning The Harlem Renaissance Unit (approximately Monday, April 11 - May 26), beginning with the short 1951 play, Inherit the Wind, by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee—
