Outline of proposed changes

edit

Click on the edit button to draft your outline.

  • Use article 1 to add my historical context to the wiki article and expand upon how Black art and performance entered the mainstream media throughout the 20th century.
  • Use article 2 to elaborate in the field of specific dance moves and their cultural reference, and how they effect socialization in Black communities.
  • Use article 3 to discuss how African Americans and African Caribbeans impact each other, and how they share traits of dance with other diaspora groups as well as Africa itself.
  • Use article 4 to tie in music to dance and discuss it's relevance because they both contributed to the rise and formation of the other.
  • Use articles 1 and 3 to discuss how dance has been used to fight racism and give political commentary, and discuss how Black dance is both art and activism, because the article lacks and racial context and doesn't really discuss racism or oppression done to the African-American community, or how that has shaped their art and performances.
  • Use articles 2 and 4 to give specific history facts and descriptions that I feel are missing. The historical subsection is underwritten and these will help to beef it up.
  • Use article 5 to add to the slavery subsection, as well as the Harlem Renaissance subsection
