Purpose

Black students in the United States are not given many opportunities to learn about Black History or Black Literature. This site is meant to correct this educational gap. It is not a cure-all or fix for the educational system; it is a tool to educate on a particular moment in Black culture, known popularly as the Harlem Renaissance or the New Negro Era. This site is a free, fun source of education that is a gateway to a fascinating history.

Features

This site features a biographical overview of four women writers of the Harlem Renaissance, a quick timeline of major events, a glossary for vocabulary expansion, and a set of classroom tasks that educators can adapt as desired. The Bibliography feature is available for further reading and research purposes.
