Opportunity at a Glance: Richard Wright’s penetrating novella, to be released in April by The Library of America, explores the “underground,” where Black life is lived as if behind a veil.

Participants will do the following during this three session Master Class:
- In the first two sessions, learn from Rutgers professor Wallace.
- In the third session, exchange ideas with other great teachers.
Participants will complete homework for each session.
