During our trip to the MET, we got to see the beauty of this historical art, seeing something in person is always a much different feeling than just seeing it online it feels more impactful.  Showing the modern world treasures from this point in time, how they could have been interacted with and how they could have invoked a sense of pride within people from that time period and now. The power that things from our past can have on our present time, how many people can find inspiration in something that happened so long ago. When you dare to see the world for what it can be instead of what it seems to be then only then have you become someone who is ready to see and make a change, to inspire others to create new beautiful things. In recent times things can appear to not be better, that this cycle of hate will prosper until the end of time and for those who have lived through it feels endless.  almost a hundred years from the start of the Harlem renaissance and so much progress has been made, the world has changed and we must keep pushing for that change.
