I really enjoyed reading about the ways Native Americans and newly arrived Africans taught each other different methods of cultivating land and growing food

It was interesting to read about how Belle Hooks encountered upper class black students who could relate to the feelings of a black person from the lower class. Feelings of suicide, fear of seeming inferior to their white peers, etc.

Throughout my research this summer, I realize my thesis that class is more important than race is wrong. Race impacts how one experiences class. Class privilege does not erase racism.
