Review the following quotation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe kitchenette is the author of the glad tidings that new suckers are in town, ready to be cheated, plundered, and put in their place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The kitchenette is our prison, our death sentence without a trial, the new form of mob violence that assaults not only the lone individual, but all of us, in its ceaseless attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The kitchenette, with its filth and foul air, with its one toilet for thirty or more tenants, kills our black babies so fast that in many cities twice as many of them die as white<\/p>\n\n\n\n babies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The kitchenette is the seedbed for scarlet fever, dysentery, typhoid, tuberculosis,<\/p>\n\n\n\n gonorrhea, syphilis, pneumonia, and malnutrition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The kitchenette scatters death so widely among us that our death rate exceeds our<\/p>\n\n\n\n birth rate, and if it were not for the trains and autos bringing us daily into the city from the plantations, we black folks who dwell in northern cities would die out entirely over the course of a few years …<\/p>\n\n\n\n The kitchenette is the funnel through which our pulverized lives flow to ruin and death on the city pavements, at a profit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Richard Wright, 12 Million Black Voices (1941)<\/p>\n\n\n\n FIRST ESSAY QUESTION: Drawing on the quote above, describe the conditions facing African American migrants to the urban North?

SECOND ESSAY QUESTION: What was sharecropping? How did it reflect both a compromise between the needs of landless freedmen and Southern landowners, as well as the relative lack of power that freedmen and their families held during the years that followed the end of Reconstruction? How does Nate Shaw describe the experience of sharecropping? How does Shaw\u2019s description reflect the realities of life under Jim Crow? In answering this question, describe three factors that made sharecropping an increasingly difficult livelihood during the early 20th century. Lastly, what were at least two strategies that African Americans used to respond to those increasingly difficult circumstances? <\/strong>
