White Like Her
Write a two-three page doubled spaced college level essay (introduction, body, and conclusion) on this book. The introduction should include a thesis statement. The first part of your essay should include a summary of why the writer’s mother decided to “pass for white” during the Era of Jim Crow and Civil Rights, and the impact of segregation both in New Orleans and in the United States.
The second part of the essay should include Dr. Lukasik’s research how it evolved into a journey of self-realization and understanding, and the impact on Dr. Lukasik and her family, “Promise me you will not tell this secret until after I die.” Finally, as the United States starts to address its racial and social injustice for African Americans, Asian Americans, and Mexican Americans and other minorities, how does the lack of cultural understanding and assimilation impact Americans in the 21st century.
Make sure include a reference page for your sources; otherwise, points will be deducted. When you do not cite your sources, it implies you are an expert and all the information in your essay are your words.
