HIST 3152 Biographical Approach to History: Women of the Harlem Renaissance
The Harlem Renaissance was one of the most influential periods in black history. A rebirth of cultural pride in the early 20th century produced an outpouring of literary, artistic and intellectual achievement. While not as visible as their male colleagues, African American women rose to the creative challenge to contribute their point of view of the black experience. This course will acquaint students with many of the female writers, musicians, and artists of the era.
