The use of the "N-Word" is prominent much of literature - Huckleberry Finn and To Kill a Mockingbird use the word quite frequently. But why? What is the word's purpose in these pieces of classic literature?
After watching this video clip, I want you to think about the viewpoints that were expressed in the 60 Minutes segment and determine what you think: should the "N-word" be taken out of literature all together, or should the word stay?
Does eliminating the word from these classic texts make it more powerful than it needs to be, or does its eradication take away the power? Reflect on what you viewed in this film clip, and make sure to explain the reasoning behind your response.
