Blackmovement Stories

Black hands and Black skin what is this? In a society where this skin is a sin. Trying my best to hold on to the things I cling to to put on to look. Beautiful. They are ashamed when I step out even with my classy, eloquent, knowledgeable self. To them my black is not beautiful. So judgmental. I stand high and proud. Because My Black is Beautiful. So why is my black not beautiful to them.

Ray and Betty have been dating for six weeks and tonight they have a date, so why don't you take a trip back to the good old days of the 1920s Harlem Renaissance when people really took a chance to connect and get to know each other. Life during the Harlem Renaissance was divine. It couldn’t have happened at a better time than this because it was just after WW1 and before the great depression. The Harlem Renaissance was said to have started by the black movement to the North in which they had more freedom of expression and at this time money was overflowing; therefore, money for leisure activity such as this could be spent. This was a time for African Americans to show their true colors and stand bold. During this era the music just made you want to get up and do the Charleston. The art was abstract and always told a story of the type of people you might find in Harlem. Oh and the literature was just the bees knees. So come on whatcha waiting for come and see how Ray and Betty are doing.
