Hip-Hop artists are the role-models of most African-Americans. As they hear their favorite artists, they want to do the same things as them. Drugs are first in the songs for example; one of the most popular artists is 2 chainz. On one of his songs, the title is “crack”. It summarizes who he is and what he does, and African-Americans love it.
“I Have a Dream” Speech: Rhetorical Perfection On August 28, 1963 Martin Luther King, Jr. gave one of the most famous speeches of all time titled “I Have a Dream”. This speech, delivered at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. in front of a crowd of thousands, addressed the severe racial injustices against the African-American citizens at the height of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. Martin Luther King, Jr. did an outstanding job to convey his message of social justice and equality with an untold eloquence and articulacy. Many people today believe it is the best speech ever given, for anyone who listens to him cannot help but to find themselves moved by the dramatic fashion and incredible demeanor with which King delivers his speech. King is successful in connecting with the American people and persuading them to join in the fight against inequality and racial discrimination.
Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, “Faith is taking the first step even when you can't see the whole staircase.” Martin Luther King Jr. was one of the most revered leaders of the 20th century. But he was also more than that; Dr. King was also one of America’s most devout Christians and played a very important role in the African-American Civil Rights Movement. Perhaps the most impressive skill he possessed was his excellent writing style. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a very talented speaker and leader who was able to get his beliefs across clearly with the combination of his skill with literary devices and his passion for his subject. Son to Reverend Martin Luther King Sr. and Alberta Williams King on January 15, 1929, Martin Luther King
Music is a great thing and can provide some great feelings and really sets the mood in social situations. This is why I believe this premise is plausible; there are many genres in music these days some include rock n roll, pop, jazz and one that really can relate to this argument which is soul music. Soul music bases its lyrics and tunes off of what they believe can enhance and enrich our souls, along with their own beliefs incorporated into the songs with beats that anyone can jam along with. One musician who always has stuck out his head and jammed to his own beat was artist Jimi Hendrix, he was by far in my eyes the best guitarist every to walk the earth. Listening and watching videos of his live performances really got my soul screaming out to his irresistible lyrics, he put all his heart and soul into his lyrics.
Who now lives in new York. He has taken his education and used it to do amazing things with paintings. He takes young black African American men, takes photos of them and place them in a portrait. His style is unique and his paintings cannot help but makes the viewer more curious as to the message he is sending. Wiley takes these photos of young African Americans and puts them in place of famous white subjects from well known paintings by artists from various time periods, more commonly the neo-classical period.
It shows a lot of character to be able to stand up for what only you can see. Through various art works Manet established himself as the most ambitious artist of his time while changing how everyone viewed paintings. Manet's main concern was how paintings were being viewed at the time. He did see art work as most people up until that time saw it which was a window onto a scene. Manet saw the canvas as brushstrokes and color and his persistence eventually made everyone else see it that way as well.
I decided to not let rap music tell me what is important in my life and to make my own decisions. Not all black people follow after gangster rap, but the majority does; and this places a negative stereotype on all black people. This places a negative stereotype on me. As a young African American woman I do enjoy rap and hip hop music; but most rap music today disappoints me. Young black males, (especially those that live in impoverished neighborhoods) look up to these musicians as role models.
The natives worship him as a god, and his name is known throughout the region. Kurtz is also said to be a brilliant painter, a radical political figure, a fantastic poet, and an able musician. Cleary, Kurtz is a highly commended individual. Even Charles Marlow, who was often over-critical and judgmental over the course of his journey, was exceedingly impressed by Kurtz. Despite all of this praise, Kurtz is a deeply flawed character.
Malcolm X’s popularity is still everywhere throughout the world today. In fact, his name has become a fashion and fad that is actively selling throughout the world. It is said that there is no young African American political leader who is rated as popular as Malcolm X in the world today. The tapes of his speeches are looked for and he is very much popularly known as our black shining prince. His memorabilia are taken as the hottest things that are being sold on the streets by street vendors and in the gift shops that are operated by blacks.
Carroll did a good job showing the beginning of integration of baseball. However, I think he could have done a better job discussing the importance of the newspaper coverage. It would have been important to know more about the context under which the journalists were writing their articles. He briefly discussed how the Sims had to move due to their controversial newspaper articles in the South, but then doesn’t discuss any challenges or successes they faced once they moved to Wichita. It could be implied that the lack of newspaper coverage of Blacks in the sports world was due to this oppression they faced in the South and then carried those feelings with them to Kansas, or it could be due to lack of a good sports editor.
