“The New Negro” Writers and artists wanted to change stereotypes From ex-slaves and inferior, to a race of cultural bearers Popularized by an essay by Alain Locke (1925)

What are the results? Paved the way for civil rights movement of the ’50s and ’60s African American art begins to take a prominent place in culture Influenced modernism

What is tone? The author’s attitude toward the subject. We can tell a lot from a person’s tone of voice. Tone is the way the author gets their attitude across. Let’s try a few examples…

“How it Feels to Be Colored Me” Zora Neale Hurston What is the essay about? What does she say about herself? How does she say it? What language does she use? What is her tone?
