West Dept. of English—Georgia State Univ. Nov. 2010 “Call me Ishmael,” Herman Melville’s elusive narrator instructs readers. The central voice in the lengthy saga called Moby Dick, he is a crewman aboard the Pequod. This Ishmael reveals little about himself, and he does not seem altogether at home. As the narrative unfolds, this enigmatic Ishmael seems increasingly out of sorts in the world aboard the Pequod. He finds himself at sea working with and dependent on fellow seamen, who are for the most part, strange and frightening and unreadable to him.

  • The Harlem Renaissance
    THE HARLEM RENAISSANCE P&L 863-Rama Ndiaye[Type text] Page 1 Curriculum Development Project OVERVIEW The Harlem Renaissance was a period in which black intellectuals, poets, musicians and writers explored their cultural identity. In a society where racism was prevalent African Americans lacked economic opportunities. The creation of art, music and poetry was not only a way to economically uplift the race but also to demonstrate racial pride. The cultural movement started at the end of the First World War and ended in the middle of the Great Depression in the 1930s. Many argue that the War expanded economic opportunity in Northern cities because of industrialization and the decrease of European immigrants coming into the United States. The Great Migration in the beginning of the 20th century also played a big role in the birth of the cultural movement. African Americans in the South were experiencing social, cultural and economic oppression so when they found opportunities to escape Jim Crow laws they took their chances. The lack of a political voice and the prevalent racial hatred led many African Americans to express themselves via artistic means. Alain Locke, an African American writer, was the first to come up with the term “New Negro” talking about a spur of young black artist who were going to change the African American culture by demonstrating that their people were not subservient, good for nothing cretins. Other intellectuals such as W.E.B. Du Bois and James Weldon Johnson aided in the expansion of the movement by being spokespeople for the literary youth.

  • The Attucks Theater September 4, 2020 | Source: Theater/ Words by Penny Neef
    Spotlight: The Attucks Theater September 4, 2020 | Source: http://spotlightnews.press/index.php/2020/09/04/spotlight-the-attucks- theater/ Words by Penny Neef. Images as credited. Feature image by Mike Penello. In the early 20th century, segregation was a fact of life for African Americans in the South. It became a matter of law in 1926. In 1919, a group of African Americans from Norfolk and Portsmouth met to develop a cultural/business center in Norfolk where the black community “could be treated with dignity and respect.” The “Twin Cities Amusement Corporation” envisioned something like a modern-day town center. The businessmen obtained funding from black owned financial institutions in Hampton Roads. Twin Cities designed and built a movie theater/ retail/ office complex at the corner of Church Street and Virginia Beach Boulevard in Norfolk. Photo courtesy of the family of Harvey Johnson The businessmen chose 25-year-old architect Harvey Johnson to design a 600-seat “state of the art” theater with balconies and an orchestra pit. The Attucks Theatre is the only surviving theater in the United States that was designed, financed and built by African Americans. The Attucks was named after Crispus Attucks, a stevedore of African and Native American descent. He was the first patriot killed in the Revolutionary War at the Boston Massacre of 1770. The theatre featured a stage curtain with a dramatic depiction of the death of Crispus Attucks. Photo by Scott Wertz. The Attucks was an immediate success. It was known as the “Apollo Theatre of the South.” Legendary performers Cab Calloway, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Nat King Cole, and B.B.

Three eager individuals gathered in a small recently bought storefront office space at 1170 Albany Avenue1 in the North End of Hartford. They were focused. They were determined to deeply investigate, unearth, and eliminate institutional racism in the city of Hartford. The first step was this map of where it was at – locating power. They cut pieces of paper with lists of the Boards of Directors of all the major corporations in Hartford – the insurance companies, the banks, the real estate agencies.

Forbes Yale University “The study of historiography serves to remind us to accept our predecessors only after due criticism. We must ask, „Why was that problem investigated? Why was that method chosen?‟ before we decide if the results are correct or incorrect, stimulating or barren. Similarly, the study of historiography reminds us (as historians) that we are part of the subject we profess, just as our predecessors have always been.” --F.G. Levy, ―Foreward‖ to The Theory and Practice of History by Leopold von Ranke It is obvious to every unprejudiced observer—and even to many prejudiced ones1—that the legacy of racial slavery persists on many levels. A growing movement in the United States and elsewhere is calling for reparations to compensate the descendants of slaves for the economic and other damages inflicted upon them by slavery. A wide range of studies has linked the continuing disparity in levels of health, economic well- being, and educational attainments between Americans of African ancestry and other Americans to factors originating in slavery, though whether the factor of enslavement is causative of the problem or secondary—i.e.

  • The Harlem Renaissance African-Americans After the Civil War • up Until the Civil War, African Americans Lived in the United States As Slaves
    Unit #4: The Changing Face of America (1890 – 1920s) Part 3: The Harlem Renaissance African-Americans after the Civil War • Up until the Civil War, African Americans lived in the United States as slaves. • After the war and the Emancipation Proclamation, African Americans had to shatter the stereotypes projected upon them by their slave ancestry. • They were seen as individuals who were incompetent and docile, and they were viewed as an inferior race, especially intellectually. • The nation gave African Americans this unpopular image, and unfortunately, many African Americans believed it. Rise of the “Black Movement” • Due to the systematic oppression that African Americans as a whole suffered from after the Civil War, many also suffered from self-hatred and low self- esteem. • They were so devalued that they began to internalize the stigma placed upon them by the broader European society. • It wasn't until the rise of the Black Movement, otherwise known as the Harlem Renaissance, did the African American begin to fully liberate himself from society's standards. • It was during this period of time in the 1920s that the "New Negro" emerged and racial identity became the popular topic of many African-American authors. Background of the Harlem Renaissance • African American artists, writers, musicians, and performers were all part of this great cultural movement called the Harlem Renaissance. • After World War I many African Americans migrated from the rural South to the urban North. This movement is called “The Great Migration.” • African Americans of all ages and walks of life moved to the thriving New York City neighborhood called Harlem.
