James Weldon Johnson O Black and Unknown Bards Fifty Years, 1863-1913 The Creation The Glory of the Day Was in Her Face ... Lift Every Voice and Sing O Black and Unknown Bards O black and unknown bards of long ago, How came your lips to touch the sacred fire? How, in your darkness, did you come to know The power and beauty of the minstrels' lyre? Who first from midst his bonds lifted his eyes? Who first from out the still watch, lone and long, Feeling the ancient faith of prophets rise Within his dark-kept soul, burst into song? Heart of what slave poured out such melody As "Steal away to Jesus"? On its strains His spirit must have nightly floated free Though still about his hands he felt his chains. Who heard great "Jordan roll"? Whose starward eye Saw chariot "swing low"? And who was he That breathed that comforting, melodic sigh, "Nobody knows de trouble I see"? What merely living clod, what captive thing, Could up toward God through all its darkness grope, And find within its deadened heart to sing These songs of sorrow, love and faith, and hope?

Jean Toomer (1894-1967) American writer Jean Toomer inspired many later Harlem Renaissance writers with his passionate and realistic portrayal of black life in the novel Cane (1923). Noted for its poetic and sensitive descriptions, Cane describes people frustrated by their conflicts with social customs and by psychological conflicts within themselves. Cane was published in 1923. A few "important" white people thought it was an extraordinary work. At a time when the best (or popular) novelists, poets, and publishers had fame not unlike the movie and rock stars of today. Toomer was himself of mixed ancestry, claiming a variety of European, African, and even Native American bloodlines. As a result, Toomer long struggled with the issue of race, both personally and professionally. As a man who could successfully "pass" for white, Toomer was a reluctant spokesperson for race conscious artists who were interested in celebrating "blackness." Instead, Toomer envisioned an American identity that would transcend race. Nevertheless, concerns with racial division inform his writing, often in a very specific manner.

112. THE HARLEM RENAISSANCE A brief overview of the literary movement, with a list of major book sources and hints on using other resources (many online) available through some university and other libraries. http://www.usc.edu/isd/archives/ethnicstudies/harlem.html

The Harlem Renaissance The Harlem Renaissance, a flowering of literature (and to a lesser extent other arts) in New York City during the 1920s and 1930s, has long been considered by many to be the high point in African American writing. It probably had its foundation in the works of W.E. B. Du Bois, influential editor of The Crisis from 1910 to 1934; DuBois believed that an educated Black elite should lead Blacks to liberation. He further believed that his people could not achieve social equality by emulating white ideals; that equality could be achieved only by teaching Black racial pride with an emphasis on an African cultural heritage. Although the Renaissance was not a school, nor did the writers associated with it share a common purpose, nevertheless they had a common bond: they dealt with Black life from a Black perspective. Among the major writers who are usually viewed as part of the Harlem Renaissance are Claude McKay, Countee Cullen, Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Rudolph Fisher, James Weldon Johnson, and Jean Toomer. While the Renaissance is often thought of as solely a literary movement, some historians of the period also include

African-American Theory and Criticism 1. Harlem Renaissance to the Black Arts Movement Perhaps the informing question in African-American literary criticism prior to the 1970s is the relation between the literary arts and developing conceptions of the nature of African-American culture. Many of the major critical texts from the first six decades of the twentieth century certainly advance our understanding of the nature of African-American literary production. Among these may be included Sterling Brown's The Negro in American Fiction (1937), Hugh Gloster's Negro Voices in American Fiction (1948), and Robert Bone's The Negro Novel in America (1958). For all the considerable value of their local insights, these works appear now to be methodologically outdated, relying too heavily on unreflective sociological or formalist perspectives. The best introduction to early African-American literary criticism is the pronouncements of writers themselves, rather than the critical surveys that sought to "interpret" African-American literature. Grounded in a representationalist and moralistic "reading" of literature dependent on a Christian humanist ideology, African-American literary criticism early in the twentieth century found its accents in a vision of cultural formation not significantly different from that of major Victorian literary critics (see

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History HARLEM RENAISSANCE Spanning the 1920s to the mid-1930s, the Harlem Renaissance was a literary, artistic, and intellectual movement that kindled a new black cultural identity. Its essence was summed up by critic and teacher Alain Locke in 1926 when he declared that through art, "Negro life is seizing its first chances for group expression and self determination." Harlem became the center of a "spiritual coming of age" in which Locke's "New Negro" transformed "social disillusionment to race pride." Chiefly literary, the Renaissance included the visual arts but excluded jazz, despite its parallel emergence as a black art form. The nucleus of the movement included Jean Toomer, Langston Hughes, Rudolf Fisher, Wallace Thurman, Jessie Redmon Fauset, Nella Larsen, Arna Bontemps, Countee Cullen, and Zora Neale Hurston. An older generation of writers and intellectuals—James Weldon Johnson, Claude McKay, Alain Locke, and Charles S. Johnson—served as mentors. The publishing industry, fueled by whites' fascination with the exotic world of Harlem, sought out and published black writers. With much of the literature focusing on a realistic portrayal of black life, conservative black critics feared that the depiction of ghetto realism would impede the cause of racial equality. The intent of the movement, however, was not political but aesthetic. Any benefit a burgeoning black contribution to literature might have in defraying racial prejudice was secondary to, as Langston Hughes put it, the "expression of our individual dark-skinned selves."

Variously known as the New Negro movement, the New Negro Renaissance, and the Negro Renaissance, the movement emerged toward the end of World War I in 1918, blossomed in the mid- to late 1920s, and then faded in the mid-1930s. The Harlem Renaissance marked the first time that mainstream publishers and critics took African American literature seriously and that African American literature and arts attracted significant attention from the nation at large. Although it was primarily a literary movement, it was closely related to developments in African American music, theater, art, and politics.

Continue article Advertisement Less important to the study is the idea of the Harlem Renaissanceart as cultural arbiter, the city as refuge and site of hope and renewal, the tension between reverence toward old forms and the "play" of the new, the optimism of the here and now. The movement would end, according to the author and as it is so often characterized, with the onset of the Depression. This book ends, as does Hughes's chapter "Negro Renaissance" in The Big Sea or F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Echoes of a Jazz Age," with nostalgia for a long and glorious party. We know now that the movement did not die so suddenly; some of its energy lingered on in the works of Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, and Ama Bontemps. Also it would have been useful to suggest, even if briefly, the international dimensions of the Harlem Renaissance as an artistic movement.

In the 1920's Harlem Renaissance, there was a controversy over how the "New Negro" (with growing demands for equality and civil rights) should be represented in contrast to the stereotype of the "Old Negro." In the arts, this controversy was reflected in an effort to show the non-idealized "truth" of the African-American urban experience.
