Isabel Wilkerson is very thorough in this reading. She covers the exodus of blacks from the Deep South beginning with the First World War up to the end of the Civil Rights Movement, and even slightly beyond. Because this occurrence of migration lasted for generations, it was hard to see it while it was happening, and most of its participants were unaware that they were part of any analytical change in black American residency, but in the end, six million African Americans left the South during these years. And while Jim Crow is arguably the chief reason for this migration, the settings, skills, and outcomes of these migrants ranged as widely as one might expect considering the movement’s longevity.

Meyers was walking down the staircase of the apartment complex when he first came into contact with the officers on scene. Ordering Meyers to stop, he was immediately detained and subjected to an investigatory stop. Yet, officers did not know the identity of their suspect prior to Meyers’ detainment. Because officers were unaware as to the suspect’s identity, it suggests they did not know whether Meyers was parlayed to a crime, a victim, a suspect and or even armed. Nonetheless, officers acted based on unknown information at the time and therefore lacked the specific and articulable facts to establish reasonable suspicion that Meyers engaged in criminal activity.

In her personal narrative, “Context” (1994), Dorothy Allison explores the ways in which the context of her life impacted her childhood and adult life.

Phyllis’s story broke the barrier for all African American writers, and proved that no matter the gender or race, all human beings are capable of having an intelligent state of mind.

Clarissa and Septimus are doppelgangers or doubles of each other. They never met in the novel but their feelings mirror each other’s that is their need to have their own “individuality”. Septimus and Clarissa are also doppelgangers as Septimus represents the external objectification of Clarissa’s internal conflicts.
