The Art, Culture, and Politics of the<br />
Harlem Renaissance: 1918-1937<br />
NEW!<br />
Did you know that before the<br />
end of slavery blacks had already<br />
mastered many styles of European<br />
art? Did you know that only 33<br />
years after slavery there was an<br />
all black cast of actors performing<br />
on Broadway in 1898? By 1925,<br />
during the Harlem Renaissance,<br />
blacks owned over sixty million<br />
dollars of property in black Harlem.<br />
Work was so abundant in the North<br />
that Harlem had become a selfstyled<br />
hub for both a black middle<br />
class and the arts to develop. At that time, the art, music, dance,<br />
theater, writing, and performers of the Harlem Renaissance went<br />
around the world. Sociologist, historian, and civil rights activist<br />
W.E.B. Du Bois and philosopher Alain Locke served important<br />
roles in the evolution of the black creative culture as well as the<br />
developing civil rights movement. Several black publications<br />
sprang up to inform people of both the creative culture and the<br />
politics of blacks at the time. Join artist and art historian Bridgitte<br />
Montgomery’s lecture on the art, creative culture, and politics<br />
before, during, and after the Harlem Renaissance.<br />
