How African American Literature is Effected by Its Culture

It reflects the identity, culture and experience in music, speeches, monologues, poems, and etc. They talk about their struggles, the future, and etc. In this essay I will be discussing the power if their literature.

Speeches are very powerful in the African American literature. A very powerful speech is Martin Luther King Jr’s “I have a dream” speech. It affected how some people viewed African Americans. It leaded to the freedom of colored people. This is a example how African American speeches affect their future, identity, and color.

Their race affects their music. In their music the talk about their ancestry and the presidency. They talk about slavery and how we finally have a colored president. This is how race affects their music.

Race, culture, identity, and experience effects African American Literature. This is because not everyone has had the same experiences. Race and culture affect it because different races and culture eat, listen, and do different things according to tradition. Identity makes a difference because people treat others according to their identity. This is why race, culture, experience and identity effects African American literature.

This is how race, culture, experience and identity affect African American literature. These are examples proving my point. Race, culture, experience and identity are important. They can change a person.
