When the Professor mention this activity at the beginning of the semester to tell you the truth I was so clueless of who I was going to choose. I mean a bunch of names came up. Even now. As I sat down I just wrote down name after name. At the beginning I was thinking about people from my Latin roots. I was thinking a lot about artist like singers because I feel like humans someway we always connect to them. I was thinking about like this guy named el RESIDENTE. He is a Puerto Rican singer who recently became an activist but I was convinced so much on it. I couldn’t really relate too many other people. I started thinking about English music then and then I though about a bunch of artist that represent what American actually stands for. I was honestly blocked. Then I though about writers. My favorite writer is Langston Hughes. For me his poems are so deep and sincere and the same time some are even dark. I sat down and though about were maybe his inspirations came from or even his ideas. Then I though about WEB Dubois . Dubois way of thinking to me is something way out of common. He thought in a deeper level and develop theories that were so real and personal. He develop the double conciseness theory that in that time he related only to the African Americans but I think that in today’s world it extents to every single person out here regardless of race. I think thats why I choose him. Because his theory could pertain to anyone and anyone can relate to it. At least I do. I think that if you look through a history book of America you can find something to identify to this theory. Each time will be someone from a different background. In a way I think I can relate to how he felt and I can put myself in his shoes. I think thats why choose him for this project.
