Althоugh nоt оn the Americаn Identity power point, one very importаnt CORE vаlue of this country is Citizenship! Who is the "American" citizen? Highlighted below are quotes taken from DuBois' Souls of Black Folks. These quotes reflect the “Exclusive” nature of this country at the time. After reading, answer the questions that follows... Quote One: “One ever feels his twoness, -- an American, a Negro; two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one dark body, whose strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder.” Quote two: “... the Negro is a sort of seventh son, born with a veil, and gifted with second-sight in this American world,—a world which yields him no true self-consciousness, but only lets him see himself through the revelation of the other world. It is a peculiar sensation, this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at one’s self through the eyes of others, of measuring one by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity. One ever feels his two-ness,—an American, a Negro... two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder.Quote three: The history of the American Negro is the history of this strife, — this longing to attain self-conscious manhood, to merge his double self into a better and truer self.” Your Assignment: Summarize each quote.

Fоllоwing the turbulence оf the Reconstruction erа, mаny blаck Americans undertook a journey away from the Deep South to the industrialized North. Here, they thought they may finally experience equality and possibly a taste of the American Dream. Known as the Great Migration, this mass exodus continued as black soldiers returned from their service in the First World War. New York City's Harlem neighborhood was an especially inviting destination for ambitious young people. This bustling center of activity provided context for the cultural explosion known as the Harlem Renaissance, a period lasting roughly from the 1920s to the early 1930s. During this time talented African American writers produced a sizable body of literature in the four prominent genres of poetry, fiction, drama, and essay. Consider this... The Harlem Renaissance played a significant role in literature, theater, and music. Literature, as well as the theater in the early twentieth century, portrayed negative stereotypes of black people. It was the Harlem Renaissance that was instrumental in changing this stereotype about African Americans and bringing realistic portrayals of them into literature, art, and theater. It challenged prevailing racism and stereotypes and promoted social and racial integration. Thus, it can be observed that the Harlem Renaissance was a significant cultural, artistic and literary movement that changed the black identity. It can also be argued that the Harlem Renaissance was the foundation or the basis of the major civil rights struggle for equality after World War II. The above statements reveal just how important this period of time was. What is more intriguing is that it lasted really less 20 years!!!!
