The Negro Movement was an artistic occurrence that was based off of many forms of art created by the African-American artists, showing what was the reality, unfair, unjust. It was provoked by different African-Americans deciding to rebel by not accepting segregation and standing up for what they believed in. this was done because they wanted to express they're feelings towards the discrimination that was going on and the only way they thought that was available was by rebelling. And many of these people did it in an artistic way. By writing poetry, by singing, playing instruments, making paintings, and a lot more, they expressed their feelings towards their reality.

All those saddening stories were bottled up, but not anymore. They were relieved and happy, but still holding their guards up knowing anything could happen. Before African-Americans obtained the courage to stand up for themselves, they were so blunt, the only emotions that were expressed were sadness, anger, and fear. These people were trapped in a repeating cycle of unfortunate events. Things would start to settle down, and then it was ruined by some horrendous happening. In 1955, a young black boy was murdered for whistling at a white lady. In 1918, an 8-months pregnant lady announced publicly that her husband was murdered by a mob. She and her unborn child were then killed too. In 1930, two African-American men that had been arrested as suspects in a murder, robbery, and rape case, were lynched after being framed. In 1957, nine black students were blocked from entering school, and they received various violent threats to stop them from going back. Many other other brutal, cold-blooded actions were taken towards the African-Americans, but they did not give up.
In conclusion, the Negro Movement was a form of artistic rebellion caused by bottled up feelings that belonged to the African- American. They let everything out and inspired others to take a stand, even after one too many hits. All this leading us up to today, where there is a lot more respect and care towards these
