How Jazz Music Supported Black Pride, Social Change and Political Activity

Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 3, University of Frankfurt (Main) (Institut für England- und Amerikastudien), course: Jazz music in American culture, language: English, abstract: It is important to make people aware of the largely untold story of the key role jazz music had in helping to shape Black pride and encouraging social change as well as political activity in the United States. For this reason, I choose to write about this subject in my paper. In my opinion ways of non- violence that support the process of change in a society should be given particular attention. I want to emphasis that this work should be taken as a theoretical attempt for it cannot be proven to which extent jazz music had an influence on social change and how things would have developed without the upcoming of jazz music. My sources for this paper were mainly online sources. For this very specific subject the internet offered more information. So the basic question which will be discussed in this paper is how culture has a meaning for Black Revolution.
