The Institute for African American Studies at the University of Connecticut announces a national conference
The Harlem Renaissance is one of the most significant eras of artistic expression of the twentieth century U.S. Following World War I, the explosion of cultural work among African Americans reflected rich intellectual and political expression with visual artists, musicians, literati, and others. The conference will explore the major ideas, people, and legacies of this period. The conference will bring together a broad-based, interdisciplinary program that includes scholars, artists, activists, and cultural workers from across the United States and abroad.
