Harlem Renaissance Activities: Zora Neale Hurston, Langston Hughes, Art & Music
Tired of superficial resources on the Harlem Renaissance that just go through the motions when it comes to adding diversity to your plans? So often, in an attempt to study more than dead white males, teachers seek out texts by people of color.
