    LORENE CARY _____________________________________________________________________________ [email protected] lorenecary.com Play: My General Tubman, Arden Theatre (January 16-March 1; extended twice through March 13). During her temporal lobe epilepsy “spells,” Harriet Tubman travels through time to a Philadelphia prison and brings men back to the Civil War as her Combahee River Raid spies; one falls in love and figures out how to go back in time separately to marry her. Books: Ladysitting: My Year with Nana at the End of Her Century (W. W. Norton & Co, 2019; paperback due June 2020). Everything changed when my grandmother moved in and our loving, funny, and complicated family shared life and faced death with her. I had to write the story to understand the loss and let it go, from free landowning progenitors in the South to my own spiritual challenge of forgiveness. If Sons, Then Heirs (Paperback: Atria Books/Simon and Schuster, 2012) Deeded to his ex-slave ancestors by General Sherman, Rayne Needham’s “heir property” has been held together, barely, for 50 years by his Nana Selma, now holed up in a tiny trailer on the old family farm. Rayne travels from Philadelphia to accept his inheritance: savage American story of black land ownership, family diaspora, and tragic loss. Free! Great Escapes from Slavery on the Underground Railroad (New City Community Press/Third World Press, 2005; Kindle, 2013).

  • Non-Fiction and Memoir
    Portsmouth High School Suggested Book List Quality Adolescent Literature by Genre African-American: Black Like Me by John Howard Griffin In the Deep South of the 1950s, journalist John Howard Griffin decided to cross the color line. Using medication that darkened his skin to deep brown, he exchanged his privileged life as a Southern white man for the disenfranchised world of an unemployed black man. His audacious, still chillingly relevant eyewitness history is a work about race and humanity-that in this new millennium still has something important to say to every American. Jazmin’s Notebook by Nikki Grimes Jazmin Shelby was "born with clenched fists"-which is okay, since she's got a lot of fighting ahead of her. Her dad died a couple of years back, and now that her mom's in the hospital, it's just her and her big sister, CeCe. But that's fine by Jazmin. She's got her friends, her school, lots of big plans for the future-and a zest for life and laughter that's impossible to resist. Long Journey Home: Stories from Black History by Julius Lester Meet Rambler, a runaway slave roaming the countryside with a guitar, who knows the only way to stay free is to keep moving. Louis is another runaway, fleeing the plantation where he was raised, because he is about to be sold. And Jake and Mandy's marriage is damaged by slavery—and destroyed by freedom. Here is the African-American experience, brought alive by a master storyteller. Maizon at Blue Hill by Jacqueline Woodson Maizon takes the biggest step in her life when she accepts a scholarship to boarding school and says good-bye to her grandmother and her best friend, Margaret.

  • 07.05.02: Philly Girls Grow up Through Memoir and Fiction
    Philly Girls Grow Up Through Memoir and Fiction Barbara McDowell Dowdall A. Philip Randolph Career Academy High School Overview Rationale Objectives Strategies Activities Annotated Bibliography Appendix She didn’t read books so she didn’t know that she was the world and the heavens boiled down to a drop -- Zora Neale Hurston Overview This unit is intended for use as a supplement to an American Literature class in the junior year of high school or to an Advanced Placement Literature and Composition class. Junior year students will read both a memoir and a novel written by Philadelphia African American women writers: Bebe Moore Campbell and Lorene Cary. Students will utilize both historical context and fiction analytical tools to understand how each author navigates growing up, establishes a unique voice and reflects community life in the “First City” at differing times. Advanced Placement Literature students will expand their range to include memoir and fiction by earlier writers Frances Ellen Watkins Harper and Jessie Redmon Fauset. Working in loosely-organized “literature circles,” students will maintain reader’s journals and report on a regular basis both to their small group and to the class via discussions and mini book reviews. The “circles” focus on different writings or portions of a text, with designated roles for each individual, including time keeper, vocabulary searcher, allusion checker, artist, and reporter. Students will also write reflection journals on how the lives and fictional worlds of each writer compare with their own. Timelines and literary maps will amplify their findings. Rationale Students attending A. Philip Randolph Career Academy, a small co-ed comprehensive career and technical high school in Northwest Philadelphia are more than 90% African American, diverse economically and come to us from all across the city.
