Read the passage from "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings."
Mrs. Bertha Flowers was the aristocrat of Black Stamps
She had the grace of control to appear warm in the coldest
weather, and on the Arkansas summer days it seemed she
had a private breeze which swirled around, cooling her
She was thin without the taut look of wiry people, and her
printed voile dresses and flowered hats were as right for
her as denim overalls for a farmer. She was our side's
answer to the richest white woman in town.

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.
