Introduction
The theme in this article proposes that African Americans are in a unique way skilled in
artistic power which may be very important to the development of a nation. According to Locke,
Black-American people are more naturally talented with artistic skills compared to Caucasians.
He believes that art is glamorous, a luxury. Confronting adversity enables the Black-American
artists to tap into a creative circulation of thought and ideas that those who have prior experience
cannot artistically compete with (Locke 2011).
Art is an indication of civilizations and race. To the author, spirituals are also inherently
parts and parcel of Black-American culture. These aspects can be traced back from the slavery
era, and hence use art at a way of teeming with sadness and bitterness. The author believes that
Black-Americas utilize these influential songs to utter their artistic potential in its simplest form.
According to Daniels (2011), the civilized white people owes to the soul-utterances of
its black counterpart numerous moments of joy not to recognize ungrudgingly the considerable

fact that what the Black has attained is of great civilizing worth. To the author, Negros got the
same opportunities and education facilities of the whites.
Criteria of Negro Art
The above topic presents work done by Du Bois. The author explores the value of the
artistic potential found in the black people and the manner that it has been absorbed into the
American culture. The position of the black race has always faced series of criticisms and often
been considered feeble (Daniels 2011).
The author suggests that the only remedy to the matter is to behave as if there is no color
difference between human races. After many years of holding back the true Negro inherent
potential, it is hurtful to conceptualize how numerous artistic geniuses have been frustrated
purely because of their skin color. The black people in America were deprived of their right to
understand their skills in crafts.
The White America race has always stifled the attempts of numerous black artists. This
has resulted to the question of whether the Black idea that gained support from the whites is the
only one that is still there. According to historical evidence, there were and still are numerous
systems of Black art that have endured racial bigotry.
However, they may not have had the spotlight or acknowledgement that they ought to
have had. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the black people in America to preserve what they
still have and to make famous what they has been ignored in the past and have not had
opportunities to express (Chittenden, Rogers & Smith 2003).
The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain
The theme here is based on Hughes story of Negro poet who admires being a white poet.
By a white poet he implies being a white writer or artist. This was manifested at the time when
Black community was realizing that it was not very difficult to become like whites or white poets
and other artists in American society. During the time, artists such as writers, poets and
musicians in the black community were ignored and frustrated by racial bigotry.

Today, there are numerous Black American writers and poets whose works are very
popular throughout the world. It is not easy to imagine that just a few decades ago there was such
attitudes change. The Black American families during that time would teach their young ones to
adore the white man. They were taught to try all they could be to become like the whites. The
blacks were made to believe that the white people were superior to them and thus deserved their
honor (Assay 2011).
