Event Details

Inspired by Howard University philosopher Alain Locke’s essay, “The Legacy of Ancestral Arts,” in his landmark volume The New Negro (1925), Reveal the Beauty: The Literature and Art of the Harlem Renaissance celebrates the centennial of the Harlem Renaissance and its role in shaping African American artistic expression from the 1920s to the 1940s. Often defined as the cultural arts period of the New Negro movement, these dynamic years redefined Black identity and challenged stereotypes through a probing array of literature and visual arts. While closely associated with Harlem, its influence reached Black communities across the U.S., South Florida, and worldwide.
