As this year comes to a close, this course has provided me with a lot of new material to think about. Previous educational institutions never bothered to cover these types of topics, restricting us of the knowledge to learn more about the Black arts and the significance of its movement. Rather, this course will leave me educated on the subjects and appreciative of this class for teaching me of things I have never known before. I hope in the future that more classes like this will not be just an elective course for students to choose, but a common lecture in other educational institutions for kids of all ages.
Following up with that, this course has led me to question more about the impact of the Black Arts movement in today's media. With this curiosity, I wish to cover the following prompt for my final paper:
"The Black Arts Movement has had a huge impact on the media's interpretation of the Black community in today's media. The Black community felt it needed justice to correct the public's perception of their culture and did so with the Black Arts movement. Now in todays' media, there is more appreciation and representation of the various cultures in the Black community. However, how did this impact other minority groups? Did this movement encourage or have an influence for other minority groups to do the same? Such as the Hispanic, Asian, and LGBT community? If so, how is that represented in media today or rather not represented?"
