"In the early 1920's, African Americans were part of a cultural movement known as the
Harlem Renaissance. The migration of African Americans to the North brought them to Harlem, a neiborhood in New York. The
Harlem Renaissance brought out powerful musical talent. Singers and musicians played an important role in this cultural inspiration,
as well as writers, shopkeepers, painters, etc."
This is an magizine cover that showcased the best efforts of leading black artists, writers, and thinkers during
the Harlem Renaissance. There were poems by Langston Hughes , stories by Claude McKay, and a story by W. E. B. Du Bois.
On the cover is a Weinold Reiss portrait of acclaimed black tenor Roland Hayes.
