In Body Language by Ota Benga was about the fascination with the black body and the interpretation of the dramatic role of the black body in America and the media. In the book the author was an emigrant from Ghana when she moved to America she began to become aware of her blackness and how the word black describes everything about her in America but nothing in Ghana, for example “I emigrated with my family from Ghana in America. I don't remember ever being aware of my blackness before them, I guess it was one of the privileges of living in a predominantly black country. In American it was the exact opposite, I was always acutely aware of my darkness almost every second of every day.” I understand the author's experience because before I moved to UMBC I didn't have to worry about my blackness because most of the people in my community were black, as a result I never had the experience of being a black friend or a black student in a predominantly white area context. In body language we talk about the Louis World's Fair and the Bronx Zoo. He was placed in the monkey house and shared the cage with an orangutan and a parrot. They put it on display to demonstrate the racial myth and stereotype. Ota was removed from the zoo and placed in an orphanage where people attempted to educate him. However, he fell into depression when he realized he could not return to his homeland and shot himself in the heart. The media has also influenced the black body with popular culture because they attract worldwide attention with commercials and print ads. The media has used the black body in a negative way, such as Benneton using a “topless black woman breastfeeding a white baby” photographer. Which keep the stereotype of the black nanny alive. Although this photograph won an award in the European country, it was hated by the black population
