The Harlem Renaissance By: Leslie Edwards

The Harlem Renaissance, also known as the “New Negro Movement”, took the country by storm with an explosion of culture and art, centered in our very own New York City. When it official began and will end, can’t be said, but one thing is for certain, its ideas will live on past the decade.

With a mass congrega on of crea ve visions and arts, the Harlem Renaissance fashioned individuality outside of mainstream America. Endeavors not only to master the arts, but to construct a new, led to a collec ve apprecia on of entertainment, ingenuity and splendor. With an an cipa on of social and poli cal equality, African Americans enlightened the world of their sought a er and warranted respect. Though largely celebrated for its music, the Harlem Renaissance was an accumula on of art and liberty all the while. It incorporated a vast array of literature, poetry, and visual arts that were not solely a fes vity of talent, but a poli cal movement.

Striving for recogni on, the African American community and Harlem refused to be disregarded or overlooked by the outside world. It wasn’t before long, un l the music of the Harlem Renaissance, took to the na on like wild fire. Musicians like Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and Bessie Smith pioneered jazz and the blues to unimaginable heights. Thought to have originated from the great migra on a er World War 1, the Harlem Renaissance was undoubtedly the workings of African Americans from the South who persevered for a be er life. With thousands arriving in ci es like Chicago, Cleveland, and New York, jazz and the blues were transported from the South, to the North.

While distribu ng its message by means of art, literature and poetry, the Harlem Renaissance illustrated African Americans struggles, vigor, and characteriza on of culture. Authors like Langston Hughes, Claude McKay, and Charles Johnson personified and depicted the true African American. The Apollo Theatre showcased African American talent such as dance and music during the Harlem Renaissance, though originally a Co on Club. It will hopefully remain a podium of talent, for years and genera ons to come.

The Jane Lewis Column A note from a small voice changed it all.

By: Delanie Durso In May of 1919, the two thirds vote in favor of the right for women to vote was finally brought to Congress. Sent to the states for ra fica on, the country was on its toes. July 1920,

I sit in a court room full of 48 men who have their minds made up on whether or not we should have the right to vote. We have to have 36 votes or else it was all for nothing. I look around the room and only see 35 flowers. It’s going to come down to Tennessee, but he’s wearing a red flower! Harry Burns is his name. He’s about to vote, but someone just ran in and handed him a note. He’s looking at it, but it’s clear he’s conflicted about something. He just stood up and ripped his red rose off! He’s vo ng yes!

It turns out the note was from his mother saying, “Be a good boy and vote suffrage. His being a “mama’s boy” turned out to be life changing for women. Our right to vote was completely dependent upon his shoulders. But, we have done it! With the 36 votes, the 19th Amendment will be passed. The moment he Burns voted yes, every women in the room stood up and cheered. It was all worth it.

I took one good look at all the women who had put every ounce of heart, sweat and blood into this campaign. They had a sense of relief as if their husbands had just returned from the war. I have seen happy people before, but this was pure ecstasy.

Growing up in a me when I would listen to my mother cry at night alone in her room because father was gone at war was hard. There was nothing I could do about it, though I wished so much I could. I use to remember thinking to myself at night; will women ever be more than just house wives with no say in the world at all? I was 15 then, and am now 21 years old, but my ques on has been answered. My sister is only 17, and s ll naive to what to is truly going on in the world. I try and tell her that when she is my age she will really have the life, but she doesn’t listen. All the worries that mother and I have had, will be gone for her. I know I’m not Alice Paul, and didn’t suffer her pain and trials, but knowing that someone cared about women, much makes me want to do more to do so much more to support the cause.

This is thanks to all of the women who took the law and turned it around. This is thanks to Mr. Harry Burns’s mother for not giving up on us, and her impeccable ming.

Forever Grateful,

Jane

Prohibi on agents pour illegal alcohol down a sewer.

Prohibi on By: Leslie Edwards

On June11th, Mary Benne , a devoted wife and mother of three, was beaten by her husband when he returned home that night, intoxicated with alcohol.

"I would never raise my hand to my wife," he said. "The alcohol turned me into a different person."

Mary reported that her husband was unable to control himself when he drank, and transformed into a man she didn’t recognize. Robert Benne , a well-known bond salesman, was known for enjoying a glass of Scotch a er a hard day at work, but was slowly unable to control himself a er a few.

Many women in Mary’s posi on rejoiced with the passing of the 18th Amendment, banning the selling and transporta on of alcohol in the U.S. Mary and many others hoped that with the banning of alcohol, families would be reunite and women and children would be free of abusive alcoholic behavior. The average drinker was to said to have drunk 1.7 bo les of hard liquor per week.

Having started on January 16, 1920, federal prohibi on agents set to the streets to enforce the law. Originally intended to eliminate businesses manufacturing, and selling alcoholic beverages, Prohibi on did just the opposite. Even thought the selling of alcohol was uncons tu onal and illegal, drinkers found ways to obtain the substance from underground establishments. With the emergence of gangsters, smugglers transported alcohol from the Caribbean and Canada, into the U.S. Many Americans even a empted to make their own alcohol, or acquire it from speakeasies. Prohibi on agents to the dismay of many wives across the na on were under-qualified to handle a na onal epidemic of alcohol consump on.

The results of Prohibi on have been clear: Americans lust for alcohol and organized crime have grown into a kingdom. For how long, will it last though?

Hiram Wesley

Racial Prejudice By: Dylan Amacher

Racial prejudices over the past 10 years have not necessarily grown, but have not receded. Though racial discrimina on is wrong, that didn’t stop its progression. There shouldn’t be a trace of hatred or violence towards a person due to their race, color, religion or sexuality, but in the na on there is.

The first white supremacist group known as the Ku Klux Clan was established and born just before the Civil War. Its infamous leader Hiram Wesley was known as the “imperial wizard.” From its start, the “KKK” had up to 4 million devoted and willing members. The KKK didn’t just discriminate, but also commi ed malicious acts, such as flogging people and dumping them at garbage sites, or pulling couples from cars and beating them.

Racial riots and lynching’s were not only seen in the U.S. but spread across the na on. Lynching didn’t occur just because someone was of a different race, but because black vic ms whistled at white women, or even expressing sympathy for a lynched person. Many would say that the KKK members were racist because they felt like they were the supreme race or more holy than all. Some would say that they were only doing this because “they wanted to feel bigger about themselves.” In reality though, many have always believed that they didn’t really ever have a good reason for going about any of their ac ons.

Whites without a doubt had it much easier than African Americans. They were able to get jobs, and walk the streets without being scared. Whites could live a great life without worry of something happening to them. Many pretended to love lynchings and bea ngs just so they wouldn’t have to experience them. If you were Asian, black, or of a different religion, then you always lived with the possibility of being killed or beaten for all to see and rejoice at. Racial discrimina ons could have been resolved if the members of racial prejudice groups would have taken a few seconds to think about the trials and tribula ons the average African American person had to go through on a daily basis. No whites had ever experienced slavery, or the bea ngs and lynchings, unless they opposed the KKK.

Slavery, no rights, and being sold are just a handful of obstacles African Americans faced. No KKK members have the right to beat, kill, or lynch people because of their race, religion, or sexuality. Anyone who has or is willing to commit such atroci es should be brought to jus ce or sentenced to a deserving punishment for what corrup on they have caused to the world.
