متن يادداشت

Race and institutionalized injustice are amongst the forefront issues in contemporary American society and politics. The narrative of our country has become one of separation as tensions continue to develop between young black men and white authority figures. Although the issues of police violence and racial tensions seem specific to the era of Kendrick Lamar and today's black urban youth, the same sentiments of separation, institutionalized injustice, and racial tensions can be found in the writings of Richard Wright, Ralph Ellison, and James Baldwin. Together, these three novelists address earlier occurrences of the issues faced by Lamar and the Black Lives Matter movement: specifically, the effects of institutionalized injustice on a black community's attempt to live peacefully amongst their one-time oppressors. Wright, Ellison, and Baldwin share common concerns about the progression of the black race and the possibility of integrating seamlessly into a society that disdains its existence. I will examine the ways in which these authors facilitate the evolution of black political thought in 20th century African American literature, culminating in the advent of rapper Kendrick Lamar. I hope to include an examination of Lamar and Wright's portraits of black men as killers, as well as an examination of religiosity, political thought (particularly Black Nationalism, Nation of Islam, and CORE), and literary criticism in order to draw conclusions about how black lives have progressed through expressive mediums since the 20th century, from Native Son to To Pimp A Butterfly.
