Section 5: Section Diagnostic

Participate in a class discussion in which you address the following questions:

1. How do authors and artists help us to construct history?

2. Why do authors and artists help us to construct history, and why is it important to understand a complex moment in history, such as the Great Migration?

3. How do the threads of Wilkerson’s text enhance our understanding of how an individual’s decision impacts our collective history?

During the discussion, support your ideas with specific examples from The Warmth of Other Suns as well as at least three texts from the unit.
