The Harlem Renaissance was a revolutionary time. We can learn a lot from the wriers of the time. I choose to study Countee Cullen. This was an exciting and hard time for many people. They can really show us how to break sociotys regulations and form new and forge a new path. For them the problem was ending racism and showing everyone how Aferican Americans are equal to everyone else. They took this problem head on, by daring to do what others told them was not OK. For example in Countee Cullens poem a white boy and a black boy walked down the street holding hands, and she had this to say about it "That lightning brilliant as a sword should blaze the path of thunder." (Cullen, Countee, Tableau). I think we can deal with many of our problems today like the writers of this time did. By daring to do things we think are right and to blaze a path of thunder to make our future better.
