What were Booker T Washingtons beliefs about how blacks should acquire their rights?
Booker T. Washington tended to advocate a more passive role for Blacks in the southern states. Despite the hardships they faced during the times following slaver, he stated that African Americans should focus their efforts on education and the advancement of their own labor techniques rather than political or social action to better their position in America. While many whites (most notably Teddy Roosevelt who took on Washington as an adviser) found his ideas acceptable, most blacks did not.
There is some dispute, however, as to whether or not Booker T. really believed in his preachings. There have been some reports of political intrigue through the use of hired attorneys that may have helped shape some critical laws in the southern states that were intended to better the position of black laborers.

What type of music was popular during the 1930-1940?
jazz was popular
Ryan Nash's answer:
really I thought that romance and sad music was popular because 1940's music was influenced by world war 2! there was a lot of romance due to men leaving for war. but music with the soldiers would be sad, especially as they sent bands over seas to perform for the men and they sang sad songs to make the soldiers want to get the world war over and done with to see their family and friends!
jazz!!!!
Rock came later swing was the thing

Yes, jazz and swing were popular during the first half of the 1940s but only some of it was romantic or sad. People wanted entertainment to let them temporarily escape the war rather than be reminded of it, so there were many up-tempo songs as well as ballads. Among others, "Don't Get Around Much Anymore", "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'", "Tail-End Charlie", "Moonlight Becomes You", "Shoo-Shoo Baby", "It Had To Be You", "Swinging On A Star", etc. Of course many songs were related to the war as well: "I'll Walk Alone", "There'll be a Hot Time In the Town of Berlin", "The G.I. Jive", "Comin' in on a Wing and a Prayer", "When The Lights Go On Again All Over The World", "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square" and others.
Tastes changed during the second half of the decade, for a number of reasons:
- The ASCAP recording ban of 1942-1944 prevented many orchestras from releasing new records, so people didn't have nearly as much new material to keep them interested.
- Rationing and travel restrictions prevented many musicians from travelling extensively so they weren't able to keep their audiences, particularly during the ban.
- Once the recording ban was lifted, new contracts increased musicians' salaries but priced many of the larger dance orchestras out of the market.
- Military service and civilian war work kept many people from going to dances, especially when couples weren't able to be together.
- Returning soldiers were 4 or 5 years older and had to catch up on school, marriage, and starting families which limited the amount of entertainment they could attend.
- Television broadcasting began, giving people more entertainment options at home.
- The most popular dance-band leader of the era was killed in the war, depriving swing music of one of its core leaders.
After the war, popular music slowly shifted to individual singers like Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Bing Crosby, and Buddy Clark, or vocal groups such as the Ink Spots, the Andrews Sisters, and the Pied Pipers. Jazz tended to be performed by smaller bands comprising 3, 4, or 5 musicians rather than full dance bands, and thus became more appealing to listeners rather than dancers. Swing bands continued in one form or another but by 1948 / 1949 many of the major orchestras either downsized or disbanded altogether.

What was the inspiration of the Harlem Renaissance?
The Harlem Renaissance, which is also known as the Black Literary Renaissance and The New Negro Movement, began in the neighborhood of Harlem in New York City in which the spirituality and potential of the African-American community was articulated through different forms of artistic expression. This time period coincided with the black migration to the northern cities to look for employment opportunities that became available after World War I because these types of opportunities were not as readily available to blacks in the South. In the Southern states there was a lack of freedom of expression for African Americans because it was generally demoralized by the Caucasian citizens of the South (black art and other forms of creative expression in black culture was simply censored or manifested itself in an underground forum). The migration to the North, more specifically Harlem, after the First World War led to African Americans finding an outlet for group expression and self determination as a means of achieving equality and civil rights. This era impacted literature (poetry and prose), music (jazz played in the notorious Cotton Club and elsewhere), visual arts (painting), and acting in musicals.

Why is it important to study the people of the middle ages and renaissance?
The medieval period in Europe (roughly 500AD to 1500AD) is of interest as a bridge between the Ancient World and the world of today. The medieval people deliberately turned their back on the despotic, slave-based civilizations of the Mediterranean (Persia, Egypt, Greece and Rome). At their center was the family (idealized in the form of Jesus and his family) and some gainful employment. Among aspects of contemporary life which were first experimented with in the Middle Ages are banks, accounting, schools, hospitals, charities, sports and law courts.
The chronicle of medieval history concerns the struggles of various warlike tribes left at the end of the Roman Empire to turn themselves into stable nations. They all became integrated with a single religious culture - the Catholic Church. the fortunes of the various nations changed. In the beginning the wealth was in in the central region (Poland, Bohemia, Germany and Italy), but later countries with access to the Atlantic Ocean (Spain, Portugal, France, Britain and the Netherlands) became dominant.
The standard of medieval painting, architecture, literature and music is judged to be high. However the Christian faith was certainly a barrier in the development of medicine and science.
Because of the importance given to the smallest amount of personal property much information relating to taxes, inheritance, contracts and property deeds was written down. A large proportion exists today, which enables further discoveries to be made about medieval times now and into the future.
