Harlem Renaissance-Julia Glancy-Deborah's Class


Harlem Renaissance
By Julia Glancy

For the quilt square we did the Harlem Renaissance. Our quilt square is divided into four sections. Writers, performers, artists and musicians of the Harlem Renaissance each have their own section. In each section there are people that were part of the Harlem Renaissance. The paint brush represents artists. Musicians are represented by musical notes. We used a pencil to represent the writers. Masks were used to show performers.

The scale in the middle with the question mark is asking if things are now equal. During the Harlem Renaissance African American artists started being recognized for their work. Now African American artists are given credit for their work but not all African Americans are treated equally to whites.
