African American History, missing work? Here you go

It has come to my attention (and my grade book) that a number of students have not completed and submitted the Olaudah Equiano in-class assignment. We are moving ahead but it is still important that the assignment gets done! The interim reports will reflect that I have not received the assignment but if you get it done, your quarter grade will include the assignment. I have attached the website that I took the excerpts of the primary source document and also the questions that you are responsible for answering. please, please, please, hand in your work!
