Synopsis

Presenting signature works and lesser known pieces in a way that allows you to examine the issues its writers and artists faced, Harlem Renaissance creates a framework to analyze the movement’s contents and meaning, thinking about topics such as the implications of skin color and race and gender during this time, and the question of whether black artistic expression should be directed toward the black freedom struggle.
