In history class, we studied the lives of African

This passage opens the short story "Sweat," by Zora
Neale Hurston, an African American novelist of the
Harlem Renaissance.
It was eleven o'clock of a Spring night in Florida. It was
Sunday. Any other night, Delia Jones would have been in
bed for two hours by this time. But she was a wash-
woman, and Monday morning meant a great deal to her.
So she collected the soiled clothes on Saturday when she
returned the clean things. Sunday night after church, she
sorted them and put the white things to soak. It saved her
almost a half day's start. A great hamper in the bedroom
held the clothes that she brought home. It was so much
neater than a number of bundles lying around.

Zora Neale Hurston

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
