American women in the 1920s continued to have primary responsibility for the home, but sought greater equality through pursuing higher education and adopting a freer lifestyle. At the same time, more African Americans moved to urban areas due to factors like declining farming and increased education. This led to cultural conflicts between rural and urban values as well as tensions between leaders like Marcus Garvey and W.E.B. Du Bois over how to advance racial equality. Artists and writers of the Harlem Renaissance recorded and expressed the experiences of African Americans during this time of social change.

Chapter 12 Reflection
Charles Grandison Finney – an evangelistic Presbyterian minister who became the most influential revival leader of the 1820s and 1830s.
Frederick Douglass – the greatest African American of all – and one of the most electrifying orators of his time, black or white – was Frederick Douglass. Born a slave in Maryland, Douglass escaped to Massachusetts in 1838, became an outspoken leader of anti-slavery sentiment. On his return to the United States in 1847, Douglass purchased his freedom from his Maryland owner and founded an antislavery newspaper, the North Star, in Rochester, New York. Douglass demanded for African Americans not only freedom but full social and economic social equality as well.
Henry David Thoreau – leading Concord transcendentalist. Thoreau went even further in repudiating the repressive forces of society. He produced the ideas that individuals should work for self-realization by resisting pressures to conform to society’s expectations and responding instead to their instincts. Thoreau’s own efforts to free himself – immortalized in is most famous book, Walden – led him to build a small cabin in the Concord woods on the edge of Walden Pond, where he lived alone for two years as simply as he could.
Horace Mann – the greatest of educational reformers was Horace Mann, the first secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Education, which was established in 1837. To Mann, education was the only way to “counterwork this tendency to the domination of capital and the servility of labor.” He reorganized the Massachusetts school system, lengthened the academic year (to six months, doubled teachers’ salaries, enriched the curriculum, and introduced new methods of professional training for teachers.
Joseph Smith - Mormonism began in upstate New York as a result of the efforts of Joseph Smith, a young, energetic, but economically unsuccessful man, who had spent most oh his twenty-four years moving restlessly through New England and the Northeast. In 1830, he published the Book of Mormon that told a story of an ancient and successful civilization in America, peopled by one of the lost tribes of Israel who had found their way to the New World centuries before Columbus.
Shakers – made a redefinition of traditional sexuality and gender roles central to their society and even embraced the idea of a God who was not clearly male or female.
Transcendentalism - idealistic philosophical and social movement that taught that divinity pervades all nature and humanity.
Walt Whitman - the self-proclaimed poet of American democracy, was the son of a Lon Island carpenter and lived for many years roaming from place to place, doing odd jobs, while writing poetry. In his large body of poems, Whitman not only helped liberate verse from traditional, restrictive conventions but also helped express the soaring spirit of individualisms that characterized his age.

Claude McKay Outline
I. Introduction
A. Background: For every literary period, there is always a group of writers that define it. When it comes to the Harlem Renaissance, a period that characterized eruption of activities among the African Americans in almost every art field, Claude McKay was the unquestioned leader. Born in 1889, in Sunny Ville, Jamaica, McKay went to become a novelist and a poet known in Britain, USA, and his home land. At the age of seventeen, McKay started writing poems with the influence of his brother, Theophilus. Theophilus was a school teacher in Jamaica, therefore was interested in literature. At a young age, Theophilus helped McKay to develop an interest in the British literature. Claude McKay started receiving mentorship from Walter Jekyll, an Englishman from Jamaica. Jekyll encouraged McKay to write dialect verses. Later on in 1912, McKay immigrated to USA, establishing himself as a renowned poet. He went on to publish Songs of Jamaica, Constab Ballads and two volumes of dialect verse.
B. Transition to Thesis: After his immigration to the United States of America, McKay started to experience things that he did not expect. McKay had not experienced racism until he joined the Tuskegee Institute to study agronomy. America’s racism sparked the fire in McKay to write even more, talking real issues and letting his readers understand what was happening and getting to their guts. He then moved to New York and invested in a restaurant. He married Eulalie Imelda Lewars. McKay published two poems there before he gained recognition as a lyric poet from Frank Harris, an editor at Pearson’s magazine. The Liberator’s editor Max Eastman also recognized him. Throughout his life, McKay was keen to make sure that he addressed the issues that were in the society.
C. Thesis Statement: Claude McKay was an influential poet that was best in addressing real life issues from the Harlem Renaissance period.
II. Significance to New York City
McKay was Voice to the people of Harlem
McKay had a famous voice to the rights of the African Americans in America. During his time, the situation for the blacks was tough and dangerous. The African Americans at that time who dared to oppose discrimination ended up suffering at the hands of the police. The African Americans had no choice but to live in fear of speaking the truth as it was and facing the real life. They, as a result, decide to play down their feeling and thoughts. McKay gave the people of Harlem a helping hand to break from their cocoon. He gave the people a voice, inspired them to go for their rights.
McKay helped in the Cultural Identity of the black people
McKay raised the consciousness of the need to reflect on the issues that affect the African Americans in USA. He attracted the attention of researchers and people in academia to explore the unique problems that the African Americans faced.

CommentaryMotivated by politics, a group of African-American au.docxpickersgillkayne
Commentary:
Motivated by politics, a group of African-American authors became known as the
Black Arts Movement
. Preeminent in this movement was the poet Imamu Amiri Baraka. The movement stemmed from the strife following the assassination of Malcom X in 1965, and then the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968. Those involved in the changes spreading across America, known as Black Nationalism or the
Black Power Movement
, broke into two primary branches--Revolutionary Nationalists, which included such groups as the Black Panther Party, and Cultural Nationalists, which includes the Black Arts Movement.
The expression of the Black Power Movement was evident in several ways: changes in clothing styles (dashikis, for example) adopted among several black groups, more vocal involvement in politics, and more outspoken tones in and topics of writing, speeches, and the plastic arts (sculpture and painting).
Though the Black Arts Movement began in Harlem, it quickly spread to many cities around the country. Numerous African-American magazines, publishing houses, and journals flourished during this time, such as
Negro Digest, Black World
, Third World Press,
The Black Scholar
, and Lotus Press, among others. Poetry was the predominant form of writing within this movement, but not exclusively--short stories, drama, essay, plays, and music were also key to the content of this era.
The Black Arts Movement was not without controversy. The content of its works is often cited as homophobic, exclusive, misogynistic, and anti-Semitic in favor of black identity.
The Black Arts Movement’s influence began to fade as the result of an unlikely source--success. As members such as James Baldwin, Maya Angelou, and Nikki Giovanni, among others, became popular and even wealthy as the result of the works they also became mainstream, which was an unforeseen consequence counter to the basis of the movement itself.
Recovering the History of African Americans
Attempts to recover and recognize the history of African Americans was part of the Black Power Movement. This is seen in African Americans who changed their birth names to African names. Born as Leroi Jones, Amiri Baraka, for example, changed his name in 1964. Stokely Carmichael became Kwame Ture. In Alice Walker's short story "Everyday Use," Dee returns home with the name Wangero.
Attitudes and actions that before the 1960s might have been kept private became more overt, which is evident in the essays defining the Black Arts Movement. Richard Wright's comments about African-American writers in his 1937 essay "Blueprint for Negro Writing" were no longer true. In that essay, Wright discussed black writers who "dressed in the knee-pants of servility" as they went "abegging to white America" for approval. He notes, "Negro writing was something external to the lives of educated Negroes themselves."
Instead, the arts in the 1960s were more aligned with what Du Bois wrote in 1926, when he call.
In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.
