The Harlem Renaissance, The Garvey Movement, and The New Negro
1. Marcus Garvey influenced Malcolm x, Martin Luther king and Nelson Mandela.
2. The United Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) was to represent black self determination and galvanizing the idea of black repatriation of Africa.
3. The Black Star Line was a ship to transport blacks back to Africa.
4. Garvey supported white supremacist because some of his aspects of returning blacks to Africa was on the same line as the KKK.
6. Similarities between Black Wall Street and Capital of Negro World is that they both were striving black communities with growing success. Differences are that black Wall Street was destroy and negro world wasn't.
7. Negro World was a newspaper that voiced the UNIA. The NAACP and UNIA were both in favor of helping Africans Americans.
" A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree with roots". This quote is saying that if you don't know your base/background how can you continue to move forward.
" With confidence, you have won before you have started" meaning that with confidence and determination you can achieve anything.
8. I think the children's role in the march was to show that they weren't intimidated by what the whites did. Some of the banners read "Mother, do lynchers go to heaven?" "Mr. President, why not make America safe for democracy?" "Thou shalt not kill." "Pray for the lady macbeths of east St. Louis." "Give us a chance to live".
9. What was similar between Jack Johnson and Muhammad Ali is that the United States government felt threatened by both of them and were determined to get rid of them. The Great White Hope is a play about Jack Johnson, Great White Hope reflects the racism and segregation in the era Johnson was in ( white people looking for a white fighter to beat him).
10. The black Yankees were a baseball team that played from 1936-1948. The team was founded in Harlem. They had played two doubleheaders that were 350 miles apart from each other on successive days. They left Pittsburgh around 10:00pm across to New Jersey, one of the two cars broke down, so nine of the sixteen players got into one car to try and make it to the game in time. They arrived 20 minutes after scheduled start time, they were given 5 minutes to warm up. Bill "Bojangles" Robinson is best known today for his dancing with Shirley Temple in a series of films during the 1930s, and starring in the musical Stormy Weather.

Race Riots: Rosewood and Black Wall Street
1. Two distinctions that made the neighbors envious is attempting to reclaim and rebuild the community.
2. Greenwood was called little Africa because of how so much more black population it was than whites.
3. I think Greenwood was nicknamed "Black Wall Street" because that's where all of the black people would go to start a business or company.
4. The National Guards needed up arresting 6,000 blacks who were released by a white employer.
5. Rosewood was a pretty happy town with a lot of black owned shops they had everything.
6. Dick Rollin assaulted a white women. What makes this lynching different than the other ones is that a group of black people tried to stop this. They weren't afraid of the whites and were ready to retaliated if needed too.
7. They remember seeing ashes, burning houses and listening to gun shots everywhere.
8. I think it took over 60 years for Rosewood to be uncover because white people didn't want the story to come out, it would make the white community look bad.
9. Ms. Minnie Lee remembered the massacre as a big blaze of fire.
10. The accident that caused the massacre is when a white women accused a black man of raping her.
11. 1000 to 1500 people had joined the mob. They would set the house on fire and kill every person that ran out.
12. John wright was remembered because he opened his home to women and children who were endangered. He also was able to send a message to the train station telling them that there was a fired. He owned one of the general stores.
13. Minnie Lee didn't want her family to know that she had to run into the woods and stay their for a week and suffer.
14. The Greenwood community really just tried to forget about the massacre and put it in their past. I think they were able to move forward because they know that something like that will never happen again.

Black Women's Bodies
BWB questions
1. Russell Simmons actually apologize for allowing the video to go public and be produced. The video itself wasn't what he was trying to get through to people, it was to show that even 162 years later there is still injustice happening. Jamilah Lamieux thought that the video was led more towards the disrespect of African American women. Also, she was really surprised/speechless about the territory the video makers crossed, talking about Harriett Tubman, Sojourner Truth and Coretta Scott King giving them that negative image. Jeff Johnson seemed very pissed about the video. He accused Russell Simmons of lying about what he said he did not know what was being published. Basically, admitting that he allowed it or that someone forced him. He claimed that Russell does not have any idea of our historical context.
2. William Dunlap discovered Sarah Baartman and decided to display her as a freak at an exhibit in London. After her death, her body was made out of plaster and her body parts were displayed at the Musee de l'Homme in Paris. 160 years later, he parts were removed and sent back home were they belonged in January of 2002. Her nickname was "Hottentot Venus" given to people with cattle.
3. There was uproar because Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth cut a cake of an African American woman and people thought that was a sign of racism. The cake was apart of the World Art Day exhibit, it was illustrating the degrading stereotypes of black people through history. Comments: "I was invited to speak at the World Art Day about the freedom of art and its right to provoke. And then they wanted me to cut into the cake. I don't review art, but I can very well understand that this whole situation was Misunderstood". I think that people made this bigger than it should've been. The lady just cut cake, there should've have been any racist act involved.
4. One similarity is that their is a girl on a table covered in cake and that there are unclothed women in both. What makes it different is that in the 2 chains video women are being degraded un like the article, the article is trying to show us home women were degraded back in the day and how wrong it was.
