Chunk 1 The Envy of the World "A Song of Celebration"

Ellis Cose, "The Envy of the World" is about the Black man's journey throughout America and his experiences in life, but Ellis Cose also considers the significance of the progress that has been made, particularly in recent decades, also illustrating the comments and experiences of men who represent the growing spectrum of black experience and "The Envy of the World" challenges us to rethink who we are and what we are becoming as society evolves. He uses statistics, and personal experience to strengthen his arguments also with the assitance of real-world anecdotes, in which the particular ways black men come to internalize the disdain and fear directed at them by American society and what they must to do in order to overcome it.

Clarification: Why is it always black men in the world who have the most problems to deal with?

Application:Do you think Eliis Cose is only directing this message towards black men or all racial groups?
