“How can art be used as a tool for resistance as evident by the Progressive Era and/or the Harlem Renaissance?”
Art can be used as a tool to show recistance because art has a lot of meaning that could be behind because with Claude Mckay it was showing how poorly animals were being treated and all he did was write a poem to show that.

*This time period connects to our current generation because people still make art to show recistance just like in the BLM protest they painted on boards and were fighting for equal rights.

If we must die
If we must die
Claude Mckay was born on Sempteber 15th, 1890. He wrote the "If we Die poem" He died on May 22nd 1948. His "If we Die" Poem represented resitance because it was showing how poorly animals were treated when they died and how he didn't wanna die like they did. Till this day animals are still killed in sad ways some die to cars. others die from being put down or shot. What I think Claude Mckay was trying to get at was to be rembered and not die in an harmful way.
Alaine Lock
Alaine Lock
The author I am talking about is Alaine Lock. The photo above is his poem about the Negro style. I'll Alain LeRoy Locke was born in Philadelphia, Pa on Sept. 13, 1886. Both his parents were schoolteachers. He died in New York City on June 9, 1954. His poem is talking about what happens to a dream deffered the poem is basically saying that what happens when a dream is deffered anything could happen but he just wants to know what happens when a person dreams gets deffered just like when the people of color dreams to take down the jim crow laws failed. In conclusion his poem was showing how a dream can get denied.
