Jessie Fauset, And Zora Neale Hurston

During the slavery period a number of African slaves wrote stories, and poems about their daily hardships that they had to withhold by being a slave and everything else that happen throughout their life’s. Not many Black writers had the resources or support from their owners to publish what they wrote or anyone to care about what they wrote, lucky slaves did reach success when they published their work. Knowing where they came from or where they grew up from is important, the type of work that each individual accomplished when they published their work to the public. The massive impact that Phillis Wheatley, Frederick Douglas, Sojourner Truth, Harriet Jacobs, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Abraham Lincoln had in the black community and how they helped change the way they were being treated completely.

Harriet Beecher Stowe, Phillis Wheatley, and Sojourner Truth were without a doubt, 3 very strong, powerful, and a unique group of intellectual women. Each woman ultimately had an undeniable force with being able to provide readers fascinating pieces of literature to inform their stories. They each lived in an era in history where equality was nonexistent. They were able to speak towards their own personal beliefs within their pieces of literature. Each displayed to their readers their different views, and even their different beliefs and personal thoughts towards slavery. Although they all spoke towards the same topic of slavery, they each shared very contrasting opinions towards the topic at hand.

During the eighteenth and nineteenth century, American Literature was considered to be of insignificant quality compared to that of English Literature, and was rarely recognized in the literary world. However, this opinion did eventually change because of the success of some very creative American authors. Sojourner Truth and Louisa May Alcott were two women who not only produced unforgettable works of literature and presented powerful speeches, but also had a monumental impact on American Literature as well as American history. These women represent the unique American spirit because of their bravery and determination for their voices to be heard for what they believed in during a time when women were meant to be seen but not heard.

In exploring the lives of African American Slave Women, historians use several different types of sources to describe and accurately depict their lives during the antebellum slave period. Through the difficult times that female slaves endured, they were shown to be depicted by their masters as being dependent, childlike and sometimes lazy. Slave women however saw their plight quite differently as they had to be quick thinkers and adaptable to their surroundings to manage all the responsibilities that were placed upon them (DuBois 2012). The uses of writing as a means of a source was a reliable method of recording and tracking history through the lives of slave women. In the sample writings of a few slave women from their letters of the

Steve Jobs advised students that, “Your time is limited, so don 't waste it living someone else 's life. Don 't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people 's thinking. Don 't let the noise of other 's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition...” (“You’ve Got to Find What You Love”). Job explains to the Graduates of the Stanford Class of 2005, that in order to be successful one must assert their unique personality, one must stand up for what they believe in, and one must create their own perspective of the world. In life, a choice has to be made, to take a stand for what you think is right, or sit passively and listen as peers debate, Job recommending the former. Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman agree that living life in a passive manner is not acceptable. The standard of asserting oneself is seen through Walt Whitman’s poem, “To a Pupil,” in Paul Schutze’s photograph Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., as well as in biographical information about Dickinson and Whitman; however, Dickinson claims in her poem, “I’m Nobody! Who are you?” that on occasions, it is okay to stay out of the spotlight.

Throughout African American history, all the men who attempted to bring change to the community ended up dead. Likewise, we saw in the novel similar results of all the black men who asserted their voice to fight for better treatment of African Americans in the Americas.

Unfortunately, for many years’ African American history is “one that has at time been overlooked”, but Miss Jane re-asserted over and over the benefits of nurturing our history (Reilly, 2016). She made it known that it is our duty to make sure that we recognize and care for the processes of African American history that generated to form US history. Fleming Jr (2014), demonstrated the importance

Events in history have influenced writers’ style, and the importance in their stories. Alice Walker wrote a novel which was very much subjective by the time period of the 1940’s. There was a great deal of bigotry and tyranny during that time, particularly for Women of color. Women were mentally and physically abused and belittled by man purely because of their race and femininity. Women were considered as ignorant individuals that simply knew how to handle housework and care for the children.
