The Harlem Renaissance: A Revolution of Words, Art, and Activism
Note: This event has been postponed from February 26th to March 11th due to damage caused by the snowstorm.
The Harlem Renaissance was a period of rich African American artistic and cultural activity. During this program, we will explore the Harlem Renaissance and its significance in American history and Black culture. We will discuss many key figures - like Langston Hughes, Bessie Smith, Duke Ellington, and Josephine Baker - and their contributions to art, literature, music and theater; we will also learn about the rise of Black pride, self-expression, and artistic freedom during the Civil Rights era.
IMPORTANT: This program will be held at the Village Improvement Association (VIA), located at 415 N. Boardwalk. There is free parking, and the building is wheelchair accessible.
