Apollo's Impact On African American Culture

Lilia Fernandez is a Chicago native who rights about how the city’s neighborhoods changed in the 20th century. The history that she describes in her book with the newcomers that have settled within the city’s urban spaces have transformed it now in the 21st century in conjunction with the changes in the racial dynamics and the physical structure that were seen during the 20 year span from 1950-1970. She explores the question of how these tens of thousands of Latinos ended up settling in Chicago. Her work traces the roots of Mexican and Puerto Ricans particularly in terms of their historical roots and their migration, settlement and overall experiences in Chicago. She writes about the neighborhoods they lived (Pilsen, Lincoln Park and Humbolt

She then deals with the Cold War era and its restrictions it placed on them, however focusing on the substance change multiracial organizations were able to achieve despite them. The Cold War and had brought many races to the West Coast, such as African Americans, Mexican Americans, Jewish Americans, as well as immigrants. This had shaped Los Angeles into a multiethnic population; however, the city has faced various racial problems. The individual groups faced discrimination and segregation, however through the coalition among groups, were able to gain strength. Los Angeles began to be looked at by Americans as an example of the potential and the liabilities of a multiracial environment. She stresses interracial unity as well as interracial civil rights activism. “Interracial cooperation,” she states, “shaped the public consciousness on civil rights, fostered careers, and generated influential local and national civil rights initiatives and even victories that, though limited, represented significant transformations” (8–9). Bernstein declares that groups had to work together because they had to do so, in that multiracial problems demanded a common effort. The individual groups realized that they had to come together since they were not powerful enough on their own to achieve their civil rights goals separately. Los Angeles’s interracial civil rights coalitions began to help give rise to the way the city was viewed as by the nation. With this, she emphasizes the long-term role western cities such as Los Angeles played in shaping American race

In “Part Two: The Making of a Ghetto,” Osofsky shifts from a macro-study of Black migration in the United States, to a micro-study of Harlem, a remote neighborhood approximately eight miles from City Hall. He describes how Harlem was once a town sparsely populated by an affluent bunch that wanted to be as far away as possible from downtown. But like most of New York, Harlem’s growth was what Osofsky called “a by-product of the general development of New York City.” He attributes this growth to the annexation of Harlem to New York City and the subsequent developmental projects the city undertook in Harlem, such as filling in marshlands and extending transportation lines to the rural retreat of the aristocrats of New York City.

Harlem was famous for its glamorous nightlife that allowed the American people an escape from everyday life and its hardships. Harlem had many high end clubs and less popular clubs and parties that everyone could enjoy. The Prohibition didn’t stop these clubs from selling and distributing liquor, in fact it only made it more popular and very profitable. Many musicians, dancers, and singers became famous from their performances in these places or on the streets in front of them. While there were many revered musicians and singers of the time the music was is one of the most important parts of the Harlem Renaissance to this day. The Cotton Club held many prestigious guests and paved the way for many great artists.

African Americans went from being slaves, to being free but still getting treated like nothing. They got none to little acknowledgment, to being heard on radio stations and loved by so many people. The music that Stax Records made was the soul of Memphis. It was the voice that needed to be heard. Famous artist such as Clara Thomas, Ray Charles, Tina Turner, and many more were the people being looked up to. Their music was so eccentric and relatable that they would be legends forever. Although the Stax closed they still held on to the principles they started with. They got a chance to turn it Stax into a museum, opened up school, and still have opportunities for the local community. Memphis wouldn’t be what it is now with out Stax.

It appeared that minorities such as African Americans and Latin Americans came to the Los Angeles area in search for a better life for themselves and their families. They both came to the same place for the same reason: “sharing

A group of people who had at one point held no power and position in society were now thriving in the nation, as they spread their culture and ideas. It was the start of an era known as the Harlem Renaissance. This was a more than a literary movement, it was a cultural movement based on pride in the Africa-American life. They were demanded civil and political rights (Stewart). The Harlem Renaissance changed the way African Americans were viewed by society. It, “changes the image of the African-American from rural, undereducated peasants to one of urban, cosmopolitan sophistication”. This era expanded from the early 1920s to the mid 1930s (Wikipedia). It generated great pride in the people

This investigation will analyze to what extent did negative racial encounters in the 1950’s caused the white fight to the suburbs.African Americans began moving into Chicago in great numbers following the Great Depression. Tensions arose as they moved into the city, which sparked many whites to move into neighboring suburbs such as the ones highlighted on the map to your right.(Ebony Magazine 18) Following the great population change were negative racial encounters and segregation.This exhibit will inform others of the point of views of both sides of the White Flight in America beginning in the 1950s.

The era in American history known as the Harlem Renaissance was a turning point in the lives of blacks in the United States. Harlem, a predominantly black urban community in New York, was the primary destination of the Great Migration. As such, it became the birthplace of a historic cultural movement. The movement of blacks from the southern states to the northern states after the Civil War kick-started the Harlem Renaissance. The Harlem Renaissance was a cultural movement among blacks in the 1900’s that positively affected not only black Americans but the world around them.

Recent events that have highlighted racial tension in the United States have had even a larger number of opinions that vary regarding why the nation continues to struggle with such a challenging issue. In our text Chapter 6 titled “The City/Suburban Divide” (Judd & Swanstrom, 2015, p. 136) identifies a subject that very well may contribute to the tension. A reference to the “urban crisis” describes a landscape that is littered with “high levels of segregation, inequality and poverty, along with racial and ethnic tensions.” (Judd, et al., p. 165) Many scholars argue that the crisis was a result of the demographic changes the nation experienced following World War II as advancements in technology and infrastructure aided White Mobility. The term “White Flight” has been used to describe a massive relocation early in the twentieth century when the White Middle-Class population left the cities for suburban areas following the great migration.

From the 1920’s to the mid 1930’s a literary, intellectual, and artistic movement occurred that kindled the African Americans a new cultural identity. This movement became known as the Harlem Renaissance, which is also known as the “New Negro Movement”. With this movement, African Americans sought out to challenge the “Negro” stereotype that they had received from others while developing innovation and great cultural activity. The Harlem Renaissance became an artistic explosion in the creative arts. Thus, many African Americans turned to writing, art, music, and theatrics to express their selves.

The purpose for writing this essay is to demonstrate how gentrification is shaping the Culture and identity for Halrmites from the socio-economic perspective. Harlem has changed dramatically over the last two decades due to improvement in housing stock and outside investments into the community. However, in my essay, I articulated my ideas toward the economic aspect of gentrification because gentrification is driven by class, not race. My audience would be the lower income Harlem residents who have been displaced or on the verge of displacement because their wealth is not contributing to the economy. The people who have been preserving the cultural identity of Harlem for decades now forced to leave the community. I tried my best to connect a broader audience by explaining the deteriorated housing condition of Harlem and how it led to gentrification. This will help reader

"The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again: but already it was impossible to say which was which," a quote seen in the political satire, Animal Farm. This novella, by George Orwell, symbolizes the Russian Revolution by using characters that are allegorical to leaders and followers during that time. Numerous animals reside on Animal Farm and expect life to be exceptional without their former farm owner, Mr. Jones; however, they were incorrect, and the totalitarianism creates a tragic misfortune of chaos and exploitation. Animal Farm includes many leaders and followers, such as Napoleon and Boxer, causing corruption and manipulation due to Napoleon's violent tactics and Boxer's obedient lifestyle.
