Booker T. Washington and/versus W. E. B. Du Bois

An Arctic memoir that looks cool~

Countee Cullen was considered second only to Langston Hughes in the Harlem Renaissance poetry scene

Cane and Home to Harlem are two Harlem Renaissance classics

Alain Locke, father of the Harlem Renaissance, edited the anthology that cemented nationwide the idea that Black Americans did not need to assimilate into white culture or play into respectability politics to get ahead—instead they were creating their own culture, making a new canon of poetry, novels, dramas, music, and essays, all of which Locke collected in his anthology

I knew of just one poem from Blake and that's Tyger, thanks to an episode of Batman: The Animated Series 🦇 so I was psyched to find this collection on @serialreader

If you're a fan of poetry, read British authors, like slower-paced but well-written poems, may I suggest this collection of Blake's.
