The Harlem Renaissance: Restructuring, Rebirth and Reckoning – w/ Julie Buckner Armstrong

<span style="font-weight: 400;">During the Harlem Renaissance, more Black artists than ever before were asking key questions about the role of art in society. Oftentimes the Harlem Renaissance is misconstrued as a discrete moment in American history–not as the next iteration of a thriving Black artistic tradition that it was.
