Civil Disobedience In The Harlem Renaissance Era

It becomes evident that within the constant adjustments in time periods come amendments of actions. An idea or question may have been portrayed differently then as opposed to the way it is portrayed now. Within an era before technology existed the only format possible to communicate an idea or issue concerning a civilization was through compelling artistic ideas, specifically during the Harlem Renaissance era. Those living within a society which is governed by unjust or immoral policies need their voices to be heard. To advance this technique, in which a civilian acts indirectly through visual communications or voiced directly through assemblies and actions, one must use civil disobedience in the appropriated situations. The evolution in which
Conversely, not every situation tends to rely on peaceful and moral motivations when it subjects itself with an act of civil disobedience. An instance in an earlier time period was with Henry David Thoreau’s ideas of direct action when it came to a resistance involving government establishments. He also came to embrace violence, if it constituted "interference" with slavery (Richard, An American Tradition). The specific act of violence in form of mob or protest against slavery do it for the purpose of a higher objective. Their intentions are not for self benefit instead they are aimed at immoral practices that a government has imposed upon the African American slaves. He had in mind not just his own conscience but the good of the republic (David Thoreau). Within his analysis of the different situations of those such as John brown’s violent acts used to end slavery. He argues that his form of action against slavery was justified. The act itself may have been a militia or military failure, but its purpose was a political success. A written article of the justification of civil disobedience and direct action, Doctor Michael Lacewing, a director of research and studied philosophy at the University of Manchester, argues that in some cases violence inhibited within civil disobedience can be justifiable and validated. His research repeats the same ideas that Thoreau had in his professional career, and in his previous studies Lacewing studied Thoreau’s ideas concerning civil disobedience. Discussed in her historical journal entry on the ethical viewpoints in American Political Philosophy, Katrina Forrester, known well for her accomplishments and political interests at Harvard University's, gives a deeper argument and insight of the reasoning and thought behind domestic citizenship’s actions in public.
