Some of his most important books that explored the Beat lifestyle through traveling and Eastern philosophy included On the Road, The Subterraneans, and Dharma Bums.

What was world war II
World War II was a global war fought between two sides from 1939 to 1945. It began with Germany and the Soviet Union invading Poland together, though they later broke apart when Germany invaded the Soviet Union as well. The major leaders in the war were Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Joseph Stalin, and Adolf Hitler. The United States originally did not intend to join the fighting, which had been ongoing for two years, but the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 changed that and brought America into the war. Propaganda posters were used during the war to promote causes and governments through often exaggerated or false statements and images that played on stereotypes.

This document discusses whether Baldwin can be considered a postcolonial thinker given the specific history of African Americans and how his 1955 essay "Stranger in the Village" examines the experience of being the first black man encountered by white villagers in Switzerland.

Black History Month: February 2016
Black History Month is celebrated in February and is a time to recognize the important contributions and achievements of African Americans throughout history. While slavery once denied blacks their basic human rights, brave civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks helped advance equality and justice through nonviolent protest. Today, though racial inequalities still exist, we continue making progress towards the dream of a just society where people are judged based on character rather than skin color.

February is Black History Month. It began as Black History Week in 1926 to celebrate the birthdays of important Black Americans like Booker T. Washington and Frederick Douglass. In 1976, it became Black History Month during the bicentennial. Carter Godwin Woodson is considered the "Father of Black History" for promoting the study of Black history and multiculturalism. Black History Month pays tribute to African American contributions and the theme in 2013 was about the Emancipation Proclamation and March on Washington. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965 were landmark laws against discrimination that resulted from civil rights activism.
