Bronx Masquerade and The Harlem Renaissance: Home

Objective: make connections between artists of The Harlem Renaissance and social and racial activism today

Day 1:
Examine the Interactive Black Migration Map
Read: Harlem Renaissance
Together, let's examine some of JamesVanDerZee's photographs

In Schoology, answer this question: 

• How do the images we see shape our impressions of people and communities?  
  
  
   

Day 2:

Locations: The Harlem Renaissance

Choose a notable person from the Harlem Renaissance column (left) and one from the contemporary column (right).

• provide one piece of information about each of your people or monuments
• find a picture or a piece of their work (song, poem, piece of art, etc.)
• write an answer to this question: how does the place we live in play a role in shaping us as a people and as a community? 

We will use what you gather to create a Google Earth tour of Harlem.
