My project will be about on idealism during the turn of the 20th century, with a focus on the negro community.

I will attempt to explain and show how the ideals of each person shaped what they did, and how it reflected upon them in their writings.

Ideals and idealism are important to be shown because they represent a goal. They’re what people put their mind onto, and the things they do everyday will slowly add up until a torrent of change finally pushes the stone away. It’s incredibly frustrating to have people say to you, “Look at reality” and completely dismiss your vision out of hand for being way too outside the norm. No matter what they say change that astounds the world can still happen, even if it’s going to be a long time in the future. Like how the world has changed is response to the idealism shown in the negro community.

I will mainly focus on my previous blog post about idealism and my blog post about what childhood would be like in this time period. My blog post will compare and contrast the idealism of children and adults and how those two viewpoints interact with each other.
