The population of blacks past downs a tradition of artist through art to native born citizens. The art tradition involved telling stories to each generation in black families. The black culture elevated by tradition created hope to determine their personal freedom to escape from poverty of enslavement and to establish a way of life through tradition. A way ofpersonal freedoms was through getting a good education that lead to a better foundation and a better way of life. With regard to all historic migrations (forced and voluntary), the African Union defined the African diaspora as \" [consisting] of people of African origin living outside the continent, irrespective of their citizenship and nationality and who are willing to contribute to the development of the continent and the building of the African Union.\" Its constitutive act declares that it shall \"invite and encourage the full participation of the African diaspora as an important part of our continent, in the building of the African Union.\"  \nKeywords: literature concepts, African American abstracts  \nThe origin of African American language originated in the Dominican islands. Slaves were brought to the islands before being slaves in America. In the islands, American slaves were able to communicate because of the tribes from Africa spoke the same language. The dialect was easy to conduct everyday communication through common phrases. The language spoken was broken English. Phrases like, where are you going, I already been there were used in daily conversation. Some of the language from Africa is used in American dialect. Words like banana and voodoo are a part of the English language. It is wonderful that some of the spirituality in language was shared amongst African traditions implementing culture passed down upon generation of slaves. Communication is a valued source of maintaining universal relationships.  \nAfrican folk tales is a form of storytelling used by slaves as a form of entertainment. African folk tales were heroic tales used by slaves. The folk tales had a hero like the road runner and the coyote reflected in the Loony Toons cartoons. The stories used animals as characters. The hero of the tales, were weak animals who fought over stronger animals like the lion or the bear. The format of the stories was to tell a story of how slaves were to overcome slavery or to tell how the weak could triumph over evil. African slaves believed that someday they would be free. The folk tales were an inspiration that there was hope of obtaining their freedom from slavery.  \nPaul Dunbar ’s poems are about his experiences to slavery. Dunbar contrast in his writing about the feelings of being a slave. Dunbar expresses the pain of being a slave. His experience entails the hardship of the instability to do as willed. He explains in his poems that the slave felt inferior to the slave owner. Dunbar expresses the slaves were put in a position where they were treated less than nature and that the slaves had to keep in their true feelings of pain as a mask they carried. The slaves were very unhappy because they did not want to be slaves and they preferred their lives as free tribes in Africa. What it meant to be captive is like a caged bird. That is the way things were and you were forced to live in that condition. A good slave would do what he was told to do in order to survive of face the consequences. There were restrictions on being a slave. As Dunbar put it, the painful relationshi","cbCaisTnTtZ8xFpC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisTnTtZ8xFpC","pdf",119703,"English","# Abstract\n## African diaspora and cultural tradition\n## African American language and dialect origins\n## Folk tales and storytelling themes\n## Paul Dunbar’s poetry and slavery experience\n## Spirituals, gospel music, and freedom motifs","[{\"question\":\"How does the article connect African traditions to African American cultural hope?\",\"answer\":\"It argues that storytelling traditions across black families elevated culture and created hope for personal freedom, including escaping poverty and enslavement through preserved ways of life.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the article say about the origins of African American language?\",\"answer\":\"It claims the language developed from Dominican islands, where enslaved people shared communication through common African linguistic roots, leading to broken English used in daily conversation.\"},{\"question\":\"Which music and literary works are highlighted, and what themes do they share?\",\"answer\":\"The text discusses Paul Dunbar’s poems and slave songs, especially gospel and spirituals tied to hope and freedom, including references associated with “Go down Moses” and “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.”\"}]","Culture Shock - Vol. 4 No. 1 - Abstract | PDF",1792067868]
