Additional Details

The 1925 Survey Graphic is a virtual who''s who of this remarkable period. Includes contributions by James Weldon Johnson, Charles S. Johnson, Rudolph Fisher, W. A. Domingo, W.E.B. Du Bois, Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen, Claude McKay, Joel Augustus Rogers, Arthur A. Schomburg, Walter White, and many others. With illustrations by Winold Reiss and others. The two other issues of the Survey Graphic, in a sense tell the sad story of how the promise of the Harlem Renaissance was somehow left unfulfilled. Color, the Unfinished Business of Democracy, has articles by Alain Locke and Sterling Brown, as well as a series of paintings by Jacob Lawrence. Segregation includes articles by Ira De A. Reid, Robert Weaver and Alain Locke.
