“The best of humanity's recorded history is a creative balance between horrors endured and victories achieved, and so it was during the Harlem Renaissance.”
― Journey through the Power of the Rainbow: Quotations from a Life Made Out of Poetry
― Journey through the Power of the Rainbow: Quotations from a Life Made Out of Poetry
“We are drawn to the Renaissance because of the hope for black uplift and interracial empathy that it embodied and because there is a certain element of romanticism associated with the era’s creativity, its seemingly larger than life heroes and heroines, and its most brilliantly lit terrain, Harlem, USA.”
― Encyclopedia of the Harlem Renaissance
