Interesting profile on different African Americans and their contributions to what has been labeled as the Harlem Renaissance. Don't know if I agree with all of those selected to be profiled, but it was interesting to read how all the different areas- literature, art, music, politics- fit into the overall design of the period. no reviews | add a review
