HW - Thursday, 5/5 - Bordentown Response

Write a 250+ word response to the movie we watched today in class.  We talked after the film about how people differed in their view of what role education should play in African Americans.  While some believed in a vocational approach, others felt that minorities should receive the same general education as whites at the time. Bordentown itself went through several changes over its history, including its approach to educating.

Write a response talking about the two roles, and how it relates to Bordentown.
