The Harlem Riot of 1935
[ send me this paper ]
This is an 8 page paper about the Harlem riot of 1935. Includes a ¾ page outline. The Harlem riot of 1935 was the result of years of racial discrimination, poor health care, bad housing, police violence, overcrowded schooling and unemployment which had plagued Harlem since the beginning of the Great Depression in 1929. Once an area of the African American renaissance in the 1920s, Harlem had become largely forgotten by the city of New York; a situation which was exaggerated by the housing and loan segregation brought about by the New Deal’s Federal Mortgage and Loans Program. In March 1935, a boy was caught stealing a knife from a Kresge’s store on 125th Street and the rumors of his beating led to rioting which lasted for two days. After the riot, Mayor La Guardia started a commission to study all the factors which led to the riot which eventually led to the introduction of several new health care and housing projects in addition to the appointed of several African Americans in advisory and political positions. Despite La Guardia’s best efforts, the situation in Harlem did not improve drastically and further racial tensions led to another riot in 1943.

The Intensity of the Black Revolutionary Struggle in the 1960s in Regards to the Political Writers and Activists of the Time
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the black revolutionary movement in the 1960s as more intense than the struggle today. The black revolutionary movement that existed during the 1960s Civil Rights struggle has been said to have diminished greatly over the years. Writers, orators and activists such as Malcolm X and H. Rap Brown spoke so intensely during their time that Malcolm X was assassinated and Brown was later jailed for their controversial activities. Critics today believe that the black revolutionary movement has “all but vanished from the earth” and cite the intensity of the works of Malcolm X and Brown as examples of the determination which was felt throughout the 1960s and which no longer exists today. In addition to the writings of the political and social leaders of the time, literary scholars such as Diane Oliver wrote short stories which commented on the effect of the civil rights movement on citizens; a genre which is still continued somewhat in modern social writing but does not contain the intensity of the social movements of the 1960s.
