Before the Americans started funding funding the arts, Diego Rivera was a member of a group of influential, who were federally funded, Mexican artists called los tres grandes. This group brought the Mexican search for identity in "the first important mural movement that originated outside of Europe" to the Mexican public walls. Rivera was one of the most famous artists of this group, in the early 1930's. He provided the American intellectuals with a physical and symbolic representation. This representation was to represent the two sides of the American debate that was regarding the cost of progress.

The informationon this site is very useful. This site states all events that happened in the ozark sorts community in the 1930's.In the period of the 1930's football games, baseball games, softball games and college athletics were just begining to sprout. Softball just got into the sports picture by 1934. College athletcis started growing in the 1930's. The 1930's was just a new era for sports, sports in the 1930's were just starting.

This site give details of the Harlem Renaissance, and what happened during that time. It talks about how black literature,music,theater,art, and politics started being recognized. It talks about African Americans moving to the north, and developing a middle class. It mentions the names of black writers, poets, artists, musicians, and politics at that time. This site describes how it affected the black community then, and how it still affects them today.

The following web site, wps.ablongma.com, provides plenty of useful information on Langston Hughes. I can conclude that this isn’t a biased website because there aren’t any signs that that it is maintained by a non-profit organization or activists. Langston was known as a private, gentle, and mild mannered man. His home life wasn’t the best due to the fact that his father hated African Americans and when he died Langston wasn’t even mentioned in the will. Four years later, after his father died, his mom, Carrie Mercer Hughes passed as well. Langston graduated from Columbia University, after that he took a journey to Mexico to become an English teacher. On the way to Mexico to become a teacher he wrote the poem “The Negro Speaks of Rivers”. On May of 1925 Langston went to an “Opportunity “dinner where he met Van Vechten, a white novelist. Van asked to see some of his work, in which he seemed to like and recommended it to his publisher. Within three weeks later “The Weary Blues” was published. This was only the beginning of his career. At the time, African Americans did not favor his work due to his “negative” thinking about African Men, but this didn’t stop his publications of “Fine Clothes to the Jew” and other books of poetry.
