As I announced in class yesterday, we'll take time out to see a video that I also plan to show in my criminology class on an episode in the war on drugs that clearly has racial overtones. In fact, as I noted, I believe the documentary has more relevance for this class than my criminology class. It is entitled "Tulia," after the small town in the Texas panhandle where it took place. You may earn 3 extra credit points by seeing it and writing a one-page response in which I want you to discuss at least one aspect of the film which has relevance for anything we've covered in this class. If you decide to do this, it will be due on our first class after the break.
Also, let me take this opportunity to remind you that ESSAY III is due Next Tuesday (or before, if you are planning to leave early for the Thanksgiving break). Please DO NOT LEAVE TOWN BEFORE TURNING IN THIS ASSIGNMENT, because you will lose many points if you turn it after the break. Finally, you should start reading Institutional Racism (Preface thru p. 89 & pp. 125-133). We will cover that in some fashion after the break.
