Rhythm and Hues: The Harlem Renaissance and Its Legacy
The Harlem Renaissance, a cultural explosion in the 1920s, saw African American artists challenge stereotypes and celebrate their heritage. From the poetic simplicity of Jacob Lawrence to the cosmopolitan portrait photographs of James Van Der Zee, this era produced works that continue to resonate today. Discover the visionaries who gave voice to the African American experience and forever changed the landscape of American culture.
This program is hosted by the Maynard Public Library, in partnership with the Wayland Public Library, Acton Memorial Library, and the Randall Library (Stow).
