Warm-up (5 min)
Postwar suburbia was an expression of the longheld American Dream: a house of ones own, a little
plot of land, a clean and decent place to live. But if
suburban lawns were green, the suburbs
themselves were white. As usual, the overwhelming
majority of African Americans had been excluded
from the dream. - A. Axelrod
Axelrod is speaking about America in general, not just the

South. Why do you think the American Dream was so

difficult for African Americans to realize? Explain / Justify!
What do you think were their primary obstacles? Ex. /
Just.

CHALLENGE! Develop a short list of strategies

African Americans could use to achieve the
American Dream.
