-It is important to note that Blackness is not just one thing, but rather a collection of unique experiences. By looking at the writings of Black people throughout history, it is evident that individuals experience Blackness differently. Straight male writers like W.E.B. Du Bois, known for his works ''The Souls of Black Folk'' and ''Black Reconstruction'' experienced Blackness differently than writers of different genders or sexualities such as Alice Walker, the writer of ''In Search of Our Mothers' Gardens'' and ''The Color Purple''. To better understand Blackness, one must understand that there is not one singular way to be Black. A Black person who grew up in the Caribbean will inevitably have different experiences than a Black person who grew up in New England. A Black person who lived during slavery will have experienced Blackness differently than a Black person living today. Blackness is not one thing, instead it is the many experiences of Black people throughout history and throughout the world.
