Snapshots in Black and White by Shara McCallum 
Directions
Please write a two-page, double spaced response to following prompt:

In the essay, she laments that only when she came to America, did race and identity become a forced binary – black or white. Given recent events – Black Lives Matter, Freddie Gray, Ferguson, Jamar Clark – and increased public attention on issues of race in America, how does McCallum’s essay contribute to the discussion?
