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.
