Discussion 2 - Black Men and Public Space

EDQ5-2

 After reading "Black Men and Public Space," in chapter 21 of Models for Writers, focus on the way that Staples recognizes himself as a cause because of the way he affects others. He finds that he has the ability to "alter public space in ugly ways". Drawing from your own experience, share an example with your classmates to illustrate how our own words and actions affect the public space around us.
