Informative Essay: A Picture of Life in the South in the Jim Crow Era
Harper Lee wrote To Kill a Mockingbird during a very tense time racially in her home state of Alabama. The South was still segregated, forcing blacks to use separate facilities apart from those used by whites in almost every aspect of society. Social inequality and racial inequality was practiced across the nation by following the Jim Crow laws.

African American history during the Jim Crow era includes encounters with poverty, racism, disrespect, and protest. What was it like to be an African American during the Jim Crow era? How were African American people treated when it came to finding work, riding on a bus, or visiting a local park? How did cultural protest cause changes in the status quo?

You'll be writing an informative essay answering these questions. The goal of an informative essay, is not to present your opinion, but to inform or educate your audience on a given topic.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)
