    Turner has very close relation with his father. When Berger discusses how much Turner’s father’s shop of barber affects his later painting style, he writes: “picture [is] always possible combination, suggested by a barber’s shop, of blood and water, water and blood”(215). It confuses the meaning by using the same words in a similar form. I may regard the first form of “blood and water” means the spirit of inheritance those come from his father’s shop (215). This is usually the first understanding and response towards blood and water for most people.…

    Entering through the stone and iron gates announcing Lincoln University is a moving experience that prompts reflection on the historic memory of the university—the first degree granting intuition of higher education for African Americans that counts a Supreme Court justice, a Harlem Renaissance poet, and two presidents of African countries among its alumni. The history and famous graduates are often used in the marketing of the school, but how can this historic memory play a role, if any, in pedagogy, specifically in the teaching of writing? Using the legal strategy devised by Thurgood Marshall to connect the Jim Crow theme of a text to Lincoln University or using the Hosanna Church at the edge of the campus with its graveyard of Hinsonville residents who helped found the university as the subject of a descriptive writing exercise may bring these historical memories to life to provide content for a course. But the historic memory of the university can be used to provide a much deeper role in how we approach the teaching of the students of today’s Lincoln University. The school’s history is that of a gateway, creating an opportunity of higher education for African American people when most institutions had their draw bridges raised and gates closed, a symptom of the surrounding contempt and enslavement of African American…
