That is, until 1910 when African Americans quickly outnumbered the white population in 1980 and actually made up more than 90 percent of the city’s population.

    Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston, authors during the Harlem Renaissance, used their poetry and short stories to challenge ideas about race and the division it caused in America. The narrators in Hughes’ “Theme for English B” and Hurston’s “How It Feels to Be Colored Me” are both in the process of exploring their racial identities, yet while the narrator in Hurston’s story embraces her differences, the speaker in Hughes’ poem is more focused on questioning the aspects that cause him and his white classmates to differ. Nonetheless, Hughes and Hurston both use a common theme of racial identity as well as symbolism and the use of metaphor, to explain the struggle of being African-American in the 20th century. In Hughes’ poem “Theme for…

    Racial tensions in America have always been a prominent issue ever since the conception of the hypocrisy that “All men were created equal.” As times have changed, America 's views on the treatment of people of different cultures and the racial equality movement have taken flight. The world is constantly changing, and people of color are now more respected and equal than they have ever been in society. Zora Neale Hurston in her novel Their Eyes Were Watching God touches on the topic of racial identity, but her use of emotional appeals sets her writing apart from others because she can make her readers feel sympathy for her characters and their struggles. “Passing as Black: How Biracial Americans Choose Identity” by Meredith Melnick of Time Magazine in 2010 also touches on the topic of racial identity, but uses little to no emotional appeals.…
