10 Defining Renaissance For my part I was deeply stirred by the idea of a real Negro renaissance…My idea of a renaissance was one of talented persons of an ethnic or national group working individually or collectively in a common purpose and creating things that would be typical of their group. I was surprised when I discovered that many of the talented Negroes regarded their renaissance more as an uplift organization and a vehicle to accelerate the pace and progress of smart Negro society. a.Langston Hughes b.Alain Locke c.Claude McKay d.Joel A Rodgers

11 American Identity America, seeking a new spiritual expansion and artistic maturity, trying to found an American literature, a national art, and national music implies a Negro-American culture seeking the same satisfactions and objectives. Separate as it may be in color and substance, the culture of the Negro is of a pattern integral with the times and with its cultural setting. a.Langston Hughes b.Alain Locke c.Claude McKay d.Joel A Rodgers

12 Jazz and What It Means Jazz isnt music merely, it is a spirit that can express itself in almost anything. The true spirit of jazz is a joyous revolt from convention, custom, authority, boredom, even sorrowfrom everything that would confine the soul of man and hinder its riding free on the air. The Negroes who invented it called their songs the Blues, and they werent capable of satire or deception. Jazz was their explosive attempt to cast off the blues and be happy, carefree happy, even in the midst of sordidness and sorrow. And that is why it has been such a balm for modern ennui, and has become a safety valve for modern machine- ridden and convention-bound society. It is the revolt of the emotions against repression. a.Langston Hughes b.Alain Locke c.Claude McKay d.Joel A Rodgers
