Larry Neal’s manifesto is calling for writing that is related to the interest of the black community. He is against any art that has to do with western values because it alienates African Americans. He wants people to create new art and destroy the old one. The old art follows the white idea and ways of looking at the world. He believes it time to write about the truth and important things. He sees arts as a part of a movement because by making art that relates to what is important and issues in society will bring these problems to light. Instead of making art that related to western values that ignores these problems. During 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. was murdered and the US gets involved in the Vietnam War. Since more problems were raising and many people were dying in this war it became more and more important to make art about this issues instead of ignoring them.
