Explanation:
Elizabeth Acevedo's poem "Hair" is a powerful poem that delves into the issue of self acceptance and identity. In this poem, the writer narrates how the hair became a piece of personal identity that sets the Latinas apart and how they are expected to try to be like normal people, meaning the white people.
In the given lines, the speaker reveals how they, the speaker and her ancestors, tried hard to find ways to "straighten" their curls and be more like the white people. She also strongly points out the fact that while her ancestors<em> "call[ed] them wild curls, [I] call them breathing"</em>, showing her acceptance of who she really is and letter her natural hair be as it is.
Thus, the "them" in the given lines refer to the ancestors as well as her curls.

1. Why do you think that Warren Brown includes the fact that Colin Powell moved from Harlem to the Bronx when he was three years old?
Warren Brown included the fact that Colin Powell moved from Harlem to the Bronx in order to show that <u>he was brought up in a black community until he was three years old.</u> It also shows how he grew up in a better-living area compared to that of the Harlem. The Bronx contained many immigrants and it this is where Colin was raised. This allowed Colin to mingle with different nationals and <u><em>not mind the color of his skin.</em></u>
2. What does this suggest about his parents?
This suggested that his parents<em> (Luther and Maud)</em> were concerned about rearing their children in a nicer community rather than the Harlem. They wanted Colin and Marylin to grow up with "confidence" and "discipline." They wanted the best for their children.
