If I could host a dinner party and I could invite anyone. I would invite Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and Huey P. Newton. Martin Luther King Jr. led the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s and also in the 1960s Malcolm X was a national minister and spokesman of the Nation of Islam and Huey P. Newton led Black Panther Party in 1966 through 1987. I would invite these three men because they led different organizations to gain equal rights for African-Americans in the 1960s. They had different views on getting equal rights. For example, Martin Luther King Jr. believed in peaceful protesting and turning the other cheek but Malcolm X and Huey P. Newton believed by any means necessary that means they will do anything and everything to get equality. I would ask questions about how did they organization’s start and how they overcome all of the naysayers. I would serve roasted chicken and water served as a drink. We would talk about their deaths and did they felt they could have done more before they died. Also, we would talk about the current situations with African-Americans. I feel like we could use different tactics to get the job done. I think they will be upset how blacks are treated by society today. They probably thought after their deaths African Americans will be treated with more

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner is a 1967 Academy Award-winning comedy-drama film starring Spencer Tracy, Sidney Poitier, Katharine Hepburn, and Katharine Houghton.

"Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" was an amazing film filled with laughs and emotions. I was very intrigued with the movie because of the acting portrayed. The facial expressions of shock and the body language of all the parents was comical and real to their characters. You could see some annoyance, uncertainty, sadness, and terror in the parents expressions when John and Joanna introduced their significant other to them. John's character was very powerful during the scene when he was defending himself to his father. With a deep tone and emotional facial expressions, Sidney Poitiers performance made me feel all the emotions he was portraying. From going to angry and yelling to emotional and sad was very impressive. Likewise, Joanna's fathers performance

Chapter two, The Dinner, is centralized around two main issues: the nation’s debt and where to locate its new capitol. While the issues were concerns of essentially every individual with political say, the three main problem-solvers presented in this chapter are James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and Thomas Jefferson. These three individuals became involved with each other when Jefferson noticed Hamilton looing like an exhausted mess outside of George Washington’s office. Hamilton shared his concerns that his plan to solve the nation’s deficit had reached a stalemate in congress against James Madison’s faction. Jefferson then hosted a dinner between the three in an attempt to solve the stalemate because he feared a deadlock.

Pearson fixates her memoir on several different instances of medical mishaps that have happened in her career. For instance, she talks about the tragic death of her patient Mr. Rose. This patient provides Dr. Pearson with a life lesson that it is important to cherish the things you have then the things you wish you had. In this case, Dr. Pearson regrets cherishing the remaining time she had with Mr. Rose before he passes away. Another instance she learns a life lesson would be with her patient Elias, a young boy diagnosed with brain cancer. Even though Elias was slowly dying, his parents continued surgical procedures and heavily depended on the hospital staff to create a miracle. Dr. Pearson knew that Elias would not be able to recover, but she continued to assist through the surgeries as her “hands were tied”. Nevertheless, Dr. Pearson reflects that she could have put down her surgical tools and said no; instead, she participated in the surgeries. Later, Dr. Pearson realizes that her role and her identity as a doctor is to help her patients with their problems and to try to solve them as much as she can in a humane and respectable

Dinner is about communication whether it is with family or someone you have just met. You exchange stories and learn a lot about a person. So as I say this I have chosen three women to take to dinner not only because they are African American but because they are women so they had to not only deal with racism but also sexism. I am taking Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, and Angela Davis out to dinner at Paschal’s Restaurant in Atlanta, Georgia. I am taking them here because this is a place that used to host civil rights leaders and strategists for meals when they wanted to discuss what can be done. This place has a history with the African American community so it is not only a great conversation starter but also a place that all three the people I choose can have a connection to even if they were never part of the Civil Rights time period because they all fought for the same thing the people that used to meet here fought for.

Through Dr. Bledsoe Ellison demonstrates numerous instances of black on black oppression. Before being expelled from the University, the narrator threatens to expose Dr. Bledsoe because Dr. Bledsoe wrongfully accuses him of causing Mr. Norton’s, one of the school founders, injury. To counter the narrator’s warning, Bledsoe exclaims, “I’ve made my place in it and I’ll have every Negro in the country hanging on tree limbs by morning if it means staying where I am” (143). In other words, Bledsoe is willing to do anything in order to keep his power and remain on top; Bledsoe believes the narrator has “torn [the black race] down,” and “dragged the entire race into slime” (141). Ellison uses Bledsoe’s reaction to display how black people have a crab in a barrel mentality and will even, in the most extreme cases, “have every Negro in the country hanging on tree limbs.” Instead of promoting black excellence in a racist society, Bledsoe attacks other African Americans in order to please the rich, wealthy, and powerful white people. Furthermore, by lying about job recommendations in New York, Dr. Bledsoe purposefully attempts to ruin the narrator’s entire life and cause him to be homeless; In one of the recommendation letters, Dr. Bledsoe states,

The film “Guess who’s coming to dinner” surprised me. It was surprised me that a white girl and a black man would get married. It was surprising because in the 1960’s it wasn’t normal for a white and black person to get married. It surprised me that the mom was okay with their marriage so easily because I expected the mom to be like the dad and say no, but the mom was okay with her daughter marrying a black man because she knew it would make her happy. It stood out to me that Joanna didn’t care what her parents thought and told her parents that they were still going to get married even if they said no. It stood out to me that they were getting married so fast because I thought everything was happening really fast too just like their parents.

He states, “Hey, it’s not my job to make the guests feel welcome. Women are better at that sort of thing, anyway, so why not let them do what they love?” The mother of the groom, Diane, notices the lazy behavior displayed by Joe and has a few words to say about it (out of his hearing of course). “It’s about time that girl of his has a decent man in her life,” says Diane displaying her pride in full force. “My son is just the man she needs to lean on.” As the bride and groom arrive and the supper begins, everyone seems to be having a good time at the reception. The bride and groom glance over to the gift table every now and then, trying to guess who brought what gift by the look of the wrapping. Their avarice cannot be hidden even between glasses of wine, loud laughs, and even louder
