Watch the following video about the Harlem Renaissance. The video clip is actually about so much more. It gives us a historical look at Harlem itself and the people who lived, performed, and wrote there.
In the middle of this report, Judith Dolkart, Director of the Addison Gallery of American Art says, “I always see artists as active agents in the culture, so artists have the ability to change the culture as much as anyone else. They have a point of view, and they are putting that point of view out there.”
Write your response to this quote explaining how it relates to what you’ve learned about the Harlem Renaissance in this module (not just in the video but the module as a whole). Use at least three key figures from the Harlem Renaissance and relate something about their art or writing to this quote.
