The beauty and natural talents represented in the Harlem Renaissance in the 1920's ❤️.

I loved this book by Arna Bontemp, where he talks about the African Americans accomplishments in art, literature, music, dance, lyrics, science, math, history, Inventions, and reminds us that the first official music published in America was the Negro Spirituals, published in 1867. This well written book with primary research should be in every public library, used as a bookclub selection, and in the homes for families to share with family, friends and neighbors ❤️.
