Ihave a question about the difference between a hat and a cap in north america? i mean like i just recently moved to canada and i'm confused about when in my dance class, a girl said our costumes include a black hat, (we're doing hip hop btw, and i know hip hop hats but like when i search hats up it shows me the second option in the picture, i'm so embarrassed about asking them that so me out)
if you're a north american and if it's different here, what hat was she talking about or maybe my question should picture comes into your mind first when you hear hat? in north america? choice 1 or choice 2 ?

The harlem renaissance dawned in an era of pervasive racism and segregation. although legally "free," many african americans were still bound by ideas that had their roots in the slavery of earlier centuries. identity and freedom are important ideas presented in many of the poems from the harlem renaissance. furthermore, the values of identity and freedom are not unique to particular times and places. as hughes expresses in "dream variations," all humans want to be able to develop their identities in freedom. what role does freedom play in the poems you read in this unit? what is required of a society to enable each individual to be true to his or her identity and be free to live by that identity? write about at least three of the poems, describing how the poet uses imagery to depict freedom and identity, the lack of it, or the desire for it.
