1.In Barbara Engelbrecht?s article, ?Swinging at the Savoy? the author states that:
The Lindy Hop incorporated the "swing" characteristic from the Charleston’s basic step-the Charleston Swing. This "swing" infused the Lindy Hop’s basic step-the syncopated two step, with the accent on the off-beat-with a relaxed and ebullient quality. And this relaxed and ebullient style of execution gives the impression, like the music, of the beat moving ?inexorably ahead.? The dancers’ feet appear to "fly" in syncopated rhythms, while the body appears to "hold" the fine line of balance in calm contrast to the headlong rush of the feet.
In what other ways did dance equal freedom for the dancers at the Savoy? Give three examples.
2. According to Mark Anthony Neal in ?Soul Train, Don Cornelius and the Legacy of Black Independent Media? what is the significance of black owned media in the development of Black culture and Soul Train?
3. In Martin Luther King?s, ?Letter from a Birmingham Jail? he states that:
You deplore the demonstrations taking place in Birmingham. But your statement, I am sorry to say, fails to express a similar concern for the conditions that brought about the demonstrations. I am sure that none of you would want to rest content with the superficial kind of social analysis that deals merely with effects and does not grapple with underlying causes. It is unfortunate that demonstrations are taking place in Birmingham, but it is even more unfortunate that the city’s white power structure left the Negro community with no alternative.
How do actions, or demonstrations, of The Freedom Riders express King?s, and the black community?s frustration? Be specific in your answers.

4. In the article, "SNCC, Black Power, and Independent Political Party Organizing in Alabama, 1964-1966,? author Hasan Kwame Jeffries writes that:
[Stokley] Carmichael explained that Black Power had ?grown out of the ferment of agitation and activity by different people and organizers in many black communities over the years.
How does the article describe the development and kinds of Black Power? Please be specific.
