Extra-Credit Option!

If you finish your creative project early on Wednesday, you could do the following for two points of extra credit:

1. Read this article about Boston King, a slave who obtained his freedom after the Revolutionary War. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aia/part2/2p60.html

2. After you read, answer these on a separate piece of paper:
-Describe the process by which King, who was American-born and the son of an African slave, wound up living in West Africa.

-What made King decide to escape and join the British, and what hardships did he endure after that?

-How did King's attitude toward White people change after he spent time in England?
