My final project will focus on the different events black people went through in the 1900’s. Black culture has been under the microscope for quite a while. People make movies and write books about the different events that happened to black people and I look at that as shedding light on black culture. African Americans had to overcome a lot of hatred and racial inequality to get to where they are now. Passing by Nella Larsen published in 1929 focuses on how two black women took two different paths in life. But in both paths, they both are passing as white women to receive the privileges white people were getting back then. The Harlem Renaissance was a time period when African Americans were getting more attention and their culture was being recognized more.
