The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The themes about the African-American heritage that resonates from the rhythms of jazz are the following.

Jazz is a very special music genre that was created by black musicians in New Orleans, at the beginning of the 1900s. Jazz is the by-product of the history and tradition of African Americans that found in Jazz a way to express themselves through music. Themes such as overcoming adversity, pain, and the will to thrive under harsh conditions, and the characteristic fusion of blues and ragtime with huge improvisation, made jazz music a favorite genre in the United States.
