Making Connections

You can either write or record a blog entry for next class regarding our Morrison novels. Be sure to link the novel to the play "A Huey P. Newton Story". How might Huey P.'s story relate to the protagonists of your novels? What sorts of agendas do the protagonists of these novels seem to have?
