Discover the vibrant cultural explosion of the Harlem Renaissance through photographs. Explore the art, literature, and history of African Americans in 1920s America.
At the turn of the last century, African Americans from across the country flooded New York City’s Harlem, leading to an explosion of books, poetry and music that is now collectively known as the Harlem Renaissance.
A photography exhibit currently on display traces the history of one of the nation’s most recognized neighborhoods as it continues to evolve.
