Civil law, civilian law, or Roman law is a legal system originating in Europe, intellectualized within the framework of late Roman law, and whose most prevalent feature is that its core principles are codifiedinto a referable system which serves as the primary source of law. This can be contrasted with common law systems whose intellectual framework comes from judge-made decisional law which gives precedential authority to prior court decisions on the principle that it is unfair to treat similar facts differently on different occasions (doctrine of judicial precedent, or stare decisis).[1][2]
Historically, a civil law is the group of legal ideas and systems ultimately derived from the Codex Justinianus, but heavily overlaid by Napoleonic, Germanic, canonical, feudal, and local practices,[3] as well as doctrinal strains such as natural law, codification, and legal positivism.
Conceptually, civil law proceeds from abstractions, formulates general principles, and distinguishes substantive rules from procedural rules.[4] It holds case law to be secondary and subordinate to statutory law. When discussing civil law, one should keep in mind the conceptual difference between a statute and a codal article. The marked feature of civilian systems is that they use codes with brief text that tend to avoid factually specific scenarios.[5] Code articles deal in generalities and thus stand at odds with statutory schemes which are often very long and very detailed.

During the Harlem Renaissance, African-American artists sought to publicize their culture and show through art the different experiences of African-American society, while demonstrating to the world their artistic ability at the same time.
Explanation:
Harlem Renaissance is the name given to a cultural movement developed by the African American community between the 1920's and 1930's, which originated in the neighborhood of Harlem, New York. The movement sought to redefine black identity on a cultural basis, and influenced a number of American and European authors in both the music and literature fields. The most common topics were the experience of racism, oral folklore, jazz music and its derivatives, and social criticism.
