Thank you, Thank you, your far too kind.
This weeks topic is the Harlem Riots of 1935 and what had caused it. Throughout this semester we have been talking about the morals of those who riot, steal and destroy in order to make a point or fight for what they believe in. Around this time, segregation was growing and racism was spreading deeper within the white population of the New York Area. This lead to less jobs, less money, less opportunity, pretty much everything of value to their families and their well being was stripped from them. This created a huge hateful stir within the Black community. The majority of the African American community felt a riot was extremely necessary in order to seek the equality and respect they deserved as human beings. Some of the other African Americans thought violence would only lead to worse conditions for them so they did not participate, some even wrote to the Mayor at the time in order to try to clear their name.
I hope you enjoyed my Blog, Stay tuned for more!
