4. The Harlem Renaissance
starting Tuesday, October 2
6 sessions: $380.00
The University of Chicago Graham School
The Harlem Renaissance was an intellectual flowering that fostered a new black cultural identity in the 1920a and 1930s. Black media, jazz, art, and literature flourished. Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen, Zora Neale Hurston are some of the best known writers of the movement, but visual arts were also crucial in creating depictions of the "New Negro." The white establishment became fascinated with the Harlem Renaissance, but for the artists themselves, acceptance by the white world was less important than, as Hughes put it, the "expression of our individual dark-skinnes selves."
