The church played the Religions role of peace during the lynching era of the late 19th century. Faith was used in principles and actions of non-violence. It was used to uplift, empower, express and spread messages with the masses. The more that the black people struggled against with their white suppressors, the more they found the cross to be a spiritual power to resist the violence they suffered. One of the byproducts of the church during this era was the expression through art, in this instance, music which allowed the genre Blues to be born. Blues allowed African Americans to forget the hardships they were enduring, they used Blues as a form of expression. When the black man was being treated as a child in this Era, songs from artists like Bo Diddley, spelling out “I’m a Man”- “M-A-N,” spelled out the word man for emphasis, and allowed for the necessary affirmation of black resistance.

The running of the daily activities within any production firm must, at all times, be focused on how best to exploit the labor-power to ensure maximum productivity in return, make profits. The most important and crucial aspect is in the compensation of the labor offered by the workforce as this classifies the labor-power to be of value such that it is directly proportional to productivity.
