Additional Details

a harlem renaissance classic. This issue of the Survey Graphic published articles, stories, and poetry by just about everyone of note from the just emerging "Harlem Renaissance." Most of the writers and poets were in their twenties, while a few like W.E.B. Du Bois and James Weldon Johnson represented the Old Guard, an old guard very much in step with the younger writers. Articles explaining and introducing the younger group include Enter the New Negro by Alain Locke, and The Making of Harlem by James Weldon Johnson. The artwork by Winold Reiss, is evocative of the style of Aaron Douglass.
