Upload your summaries of Scott “Bad History,” Harris \u201cI Helped Fact-Check the 1619 Project. The Times Ignored Me,\u201d and “We Respond” here by noon (lunch time)<\/strong>. <\/span>Only upload .doc or .docx format<\/strong>. Pay Attention–the directions for this assignment are new<\/strong><\/em>: <\/strong>1) Write three<\/strong> 75 word summaries, one on Scott “Bad History,” one on Harris  \u201cI Helped Fact-Check the 1619 Project” and one on “We Respond” (feel free to write more words, if you are feeling inspired); 2) be comprehensive–this is a summary of the “whole” of these three short pieces; 3) offer only one title for what you think the main point of all three readings is; and 4) use your own words as much as possible. Also, 5) add another section where you give your reaction to these three readings and give it a title that makes clear what your point is.  That is, having read what we have read so far and discussed what we have discussed so far, what do you think about the claims made by Scott, Harris, the “five historians,” and the editor of the New York Times? Are there any claims that strike you as suspicious, incorrect, or even immoral? Are there any claims that you are starting to agree with that you didn’t necessarily agree with at the start of the class?<\/span><\/p>\n

Leslie Harris<\/p>\n

The following is drawn from: https:\/\/history.northwestern.edu\/people\/faculty\/core-faculty\/leslie-m-harris.html.<\/p>\n

Leslie Harris (Ph.D., Stanford, 1995) has focused on complicating the ideas we all hold about the history of African Americans in the United States; and finding ways to communicate these new ideas to the general public. Her first body of work on New York City challenged the prevailing view of slavery as a phenomenon of the southern United States, with little impact or importance in the north. In her first book, In the Shadow of Slavery: African Americans in New York City, 1626-1863 (University of Chicago, 2003), she examines the impact of northern and southern slavery on the definitions of class, gender, citizenship and political activism promulgated by New York\u2019s blacks and whites. That work led to her participation in the New-York Historical Society\u2019s groundbreaking exhibition Slavery in New York (2005-2006), for which she was a principal advisor as well as co-editor, with Ira Berlin, of the accompanying book.<\/span><\/p>\n
