Also, we’re living during a time when southern Black culture is more dominant, because the South is growing and more people live there. It wasn’t always like that. A few decades ago, Black culture up north and out west was dominant. You’ll have to drop some wisdom on your classmates. For example, hiphop is Black American culture that came directly out of NYC. What are they talking about?

The black people in the north are only there because they came from the south especially in the time of the Harlem renaissance……

Eh. The South is our motherland as Black Americans. As a Philadelphian who went to an HBCU down South, I hear you, but we need to emphasize the South more. Northern Black America culture already gets a bunch of shine.

I grew up in Rochester New York the home of Frederick Douglass what I will say is there is a reason most of the black colleges are down south the reason why it's spoke of in this way is because people in the North tend to pretend they are "better" than southerners and have this notion the south is "backwards" also in the North from my lived experience northern blacks think they are somehow different when they are in the North because they fled the south I think you should be the voice of the north on campus if you have specific things you learned that are unique from the south because the only reason I was born in Rochester is because my mother moved to the north from the south

I love that you are asking the question. Sometimes you have to offer the other side. I am from the South am currently in Detroit, and I 100% stand on my Southern Roots, however I love traveling and researching wherever I am. The dominant narrative is all Black people were slaves in the South, and that is not the case. Unfortunately, we have to feret out and cobble our curriculum together based on what we wabt to know rather than that which the curriculum is directing you. Din't stop asking questions lil sis❤️I want to give you two things (1) a timeline of the presence of people who are defined as Black in the North.

This honestly reminds me there has been so much attention right now given to the Gullah Geechee and I am so happy it’s so proud that our culture as black Americans are being more spoken about, but what I don’t like is that people are starting to talk about GG culture as if it’s not simultaneously black American culture I know we all didn’t have the same traditions, but it kind of makes them out and sound to be foreign the way that it currently being divided and pedelisized so like I said, it seems to be pros and cons to it. We just have to always try to contribute to the positive aspects of it while simultaneously working to counteract the negative as well.

i think it’s bc 1- a lot of our culture again stems from the south but 2- northern black culture while distinct is more so modern day black culture rather than OLD black culture because most of the culture derives from the south. our modern day culture and things definitely is more north culture oriented. however the south is where most black americans people stay and from objectively. it’s more pronounced imo rather than any REAL erasure.

“Southern HBCUs” is all but like 3 of them so you’re basically saying all of them

I think about this often. I’m the first person in my immediate family to be born in the North. Anytime I think about engaging with my culture, I always think about it in terms of “reconnecting with the South”, but I’ve just now noticed that I do this to the exclusion of Northern black culture. I’ve been failing to realize that Black Americans have been in the North just as long as the South, and Northern black culture is just as legitimate.

It’s on Northern folks to show our culture. So when there is an opportunity speak up. That’s the point of diversity even within Blackness.

I think that erasure is largely due to how AA History, in this case the HR, is taught. Another example is the Underground Railroad: some fled to Mexico (a free soil state) & there is a lot of Afro-Mexican history & culture that overlaps AA history & culture. Also, during the Red Scare/McCarthy Era many HR luminaries fled to Mexico & continued writing. The Underground Railroad also extended to Canada & there is also a substantial amount of Afro-Canadian history & culture that overlaps with AA history & culture.

A lot of the culture actually does come directly from the south. The slang, the music, the food. Most of the culture that was laid down in the north was done by people who came from the south or were raised by people from the south.

Calvin WaltonPhD :
Sis, they don’t know anything about the Harlem Renaissance and they don’t really understand Black life in northern cities. They literally don’t know. Also, it’s the professor’s job to moderate these discussions and help students understand Harlem and the Harlem Renaissance. Perhaps the teacher doesn’t know either.

The other thing I want to share is something I learned about when I was much older. I remember my Jazz Class.( #sidebar: I went to NC A&T SU #AggiePride 🤭 If you know, you're on your way to Greensboro, NC see you soon!) (sidebar #2: there were a lot of NY/NJ Aggies and they really dominated the climate of the campus in the 90s ESPECIALLY them Timbs 🤭 Infeel like it was because they were #HipHop Adjacent. The Southern boys just could not rock them like thenNY/ NJ boys) 🥰 Anyway, Jazz, You can't talk about Jazz, without talking about Jazz without talking about the Harlem Renaissance. As much as it was about literature, poetry, it was also about muscianship, all forms of artistry. I found out about the May 1, 1925 A Journal of Negro Life literary awards banquet, hosted by Charles S. Johnson. Look up both the Journal and the Awards banquet on this day. I read about it in Miss Anne in Harlem (And I originally didn't want to read this book, I did. There was so much information in this book including how #Baracoon came to be and how it was shelved for over 80 years. We are family in the North, too. Omission is absolutely #erasure #Blessedarethosethataskthequestions ❤️

Oh...I forgot this...which is a map depecting where the influences came from and went. A deeper dive into the history component is typically not part of a Harlem Renaissance class. Divorcing the history from the Harlem Renaissance is also #erasure. Slavery ended in 1865, we know that, however what a lot of people don't know is, slavery evolved #intheSouth over time. 1619 - 1640 Indentured servitude 1640-1662 Codified slavery; the condion of the child follows the mother 1662-1808 The end of the International Slave trade 1808-1865 The "American Slavetrade" This is what #BadBunny was referencing at the #SuperbowlLX #BadbunnyHalftimeshow

You seem to care more about the North being included verses just listening and learning

People can somehow comprehend that we come from Africa and made our own expansion of the culture as Black Americans, but they can't understand that we continued creating unique culture in the north after migrating.
