Negritude and the black identity.

Negritude is a political movement developed in the 1930's that included writers that felt that the blacks of the african dispora had a common identity that could help in fighting against the French's racism. I think it all happened after the slaves were dispersed around the United States, all enduring the same pain, the black community tried to find comfort out of a sour situation. Thats how the Harlem Renaissance influenced it.Writers such as Langhston Hughes and Richard Wright wrote pieces addressing racism and the black experience. Haiti also had been flourishing in the black culture in the 20 century.
I always look at situations such a the Harlem Renaissance and Negritude as little steps that we pass to get closer to the goal, which is complete equality. Although, blacks will never experience complete equality, we have exceeded limits that never existed years ago. I think we've accomplished a lot, but we still have a long way to go.
