The Harlem Renaissance Project

Project Description
The Harlem Renaissance is an overlooked period of American history that defined itself as an era where black intellectuals and creatives established their own African-American identity. The movement envisioned to combat the prejudiced and racist caricatures of the day, while also maintaining a sense of black pride. Harlem became a center where creativity and self-expression flourished and the culture was created by and for African-Americans.

The Harlem Renaissance Project aims to illustrate, educate, and bring attention to the Harlem Renaissance through engaging and visually appealing methods that are used in this day and age, like: augmented reality, social media, etc.
