EWRT1B-21: paper 1 prompt and James Baldwin

Here is a link to a .pdf of paper 1 (I handed this out Wednesday, April 9).

And here's an old interview with James Baldwin. I'm not sure exactly when it was done. I assume the late 50s or early 60s. There is an odd voice over in the beginning, but they start talking about 29 seconds in. He talks about growing up in Harlem and how it has changed since then. Then he gets into talking about the moral apathy in the U.S. Keep in mind that this interview was done in the midst if the Civil Rights movement.
