Learning Goal: I’m working on a philosophy writing question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
Note: Be sure to read/listen to the materials in order, because I am providing background info which will allow deeper engagement. We are very lucky that a rich archive of resources has been created in connection to a 2021 PBS project remembering Wells, so the content this week includes very important archival materials. However, I also want to encourage you to use self-care in reviewing the materials and let me know if you are concerned about specific triggers related to the topic. I have provided alternative texts and options as needed in the past.
BACKGROUND and MATERIALS
PROMPT
All of our readings have placed great emphasis on the importance of justice and the rule of law. These are seen as vital to the principles of humanity (Kant) and the defense of our mutual respect, dignity, and fundamental autonomy and freedom as persons. These are also seen as vital in our fostering of King’s beloved community, a vision of justice, but also of love and non-violence. He was despised for holding out hope for true integration, the protection of all, and a path of growth for every child not marred by hate. Finally, Wells was driven by principles of truth, fairness, justice before the law, self-determination, and self-defense. Wells allied with a great number of white antiracists and had deep, intimate friendships, but she first wanted Black Americans to speak dangerous truths, demand justice, and organize for their own protection and felt this was the precursor to meeting the white establishment as true equals and from a position of power.
Write 2-3 paragraphs referencing the film and directly include 2-3 quotes from the reading you choose above. After what you’ve learned this week, please share how Wells has added to your understanding of the need for universal moral standards, the necessity of disobeying immoral laws, or the moral argument for armed self and community defense. You do not need to draw full conclusions or come down on one side–we should be more interested in how her example adds nuance and raises new questions as we consider the resistance of those denied human rights.
Please answer the prompt in VERY SIMPLE LANGUAGE.
Make sure to watch the film and go over the readings prior to starting and follow the prompt to answer the question. Max length- 2 pages, min. length- 1 page.
