In Pedagogy of the Oppressed writer Paulo Freire writes, “No one can be authentically human while he prevents others from being so.” In the essay “A Talk to Teachers” by James Baldwin and the speech “Ain’t I a Woman?” by Sojourner Truth, both writers challenge how their society views and defines African Americans and/or women and focus on their own humanity.
Identify and discuss at least four ways Truth and Baldwin saw themselves differently than the way American society (the power structure) views them, and how they define their own humanity. Be sure to include at least one example from each text.
