For starters, if you’re not familiar with the term “Jim Crow,” here’s a quick definition from Wikipedia:
Jim Crow Laws were state and local laws enacted in the Southern and border states of the United States and in force between 1876 and 1967 that required racial segregation, especially of blacks, in all public facilities.
Now read the following first-hand accounts of life under Jim Crow.
When you’re finished, write a post on your own blog that connects a quote from one of these readings to an event or character in A Lesson Before Dying. After you’ve done that, read two classmates’ blog entries and leave a constructive comment on each.

I think you should edit your post to say “leave a constructive comment FOR EACH BLOG YOU READ,” because otherwise some loophole-abusing people might just leave one comment.
Or did you mean we only had to leave one contstructive comment, and could choose which blog I read to leave it in?

True, true. The change is made.
