Read the two excerpts.
"remembering to never forget: dominican republic's 'parsley massacre ” by mark memmott:
the method his soldiers used in 1937 to try to identify those who would be killed was cruelly unique. when confronting someone in the lands along the border with haiti, they would hold up a sprig of parsley and ask what it was. if the person responded by trilling the "r” in perejil (spanish for parsley), he would be free to go. anyone who didn't trill the "r” was thought to be a haitian creole speaker—and was likely to be killed.
"a genetics of justice” by julia alvarez:
my father and mother were once again trapped in a police state. they laid low as best they could. now that they had four young daughters, they could not take any chances. for a while, that spark which has almost cost my father his life and which he had lighted in my mother seemed to have burnt out. periodically, trujillo would demand a tribute, and they would acquiesce. a tax, a dummy vote, a portrait on the wall. to my father and other men in the country, the most humiliating of these tributes was the occasional parade in which women were made to march and turn their heads and acknowledge the great man as they passed the review stand.

The harlem renaissance dawned in an era of pervasive racism and segregation. although legally "free," many african americans were still bound by ideas that had their roots in the slavery of earlier centuries. identity and freedom are important ideas presented in many of the poems from the harlem renaissance. furthermore, the values of identity and freedom are not unique to particular times and places. as hughes expresses in "dream variations," all humans want to be able to develop their identities in freedom. what role does freedom play in the poems you read in this unit? what is required of a society to enable each individual to be true to his or her identity and be free to live by that identity? write about at least three of the poems, describing how the poet uses imagery to depict freedom and identity, the lack of it, or the desire for it.
