It’s research time! I’ll be looking into how the black arts movement of the 1960s-70s impacted Philly, so I’ll have to look into different areas of the arts in order to get a full picture, as the black arts movement was anything but a monolith. I’ll be starting with a genre that’s relevance in Philly began earlier than the 60s, but its heyday was during the time of the black arts movement — jazz.

Using SASE on a secondary source
The source I’ll be breaking down using SASE is from the Encyclopedia of Greater Philadelphia, about jazz in Philly.
McCarthy, Jack. “Jazz.” Encyclopedia of Greater Philadelphia, 2016. https://philadelphiaencyclopedia.org/archive/jazz/.
S – The purpose of this source is to address a particular area within the black arts movement and give historical context to the movement as a whole, especially in Philly (the driving question is still the impact of the movement).
A – The author’s argument is that jazz has deep historical roots in Philly and enriched the culture of the city.
S – This source is important because it deals specifically with jazz in Philadelphia, and it contributes to the overall topic by giving a specific example of how the black arts movement influenced Philadelphia in particular, and how this effect can be seen all across the nation. I’ll use it in my project to contextualize the movement.
E – The author uses other articles and images to support their argument, as well as hyperlinking other webpages (especially when referencing a person’s name).
That’s it for today so thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed my blog post!
