Program Details

COURSE DESCRIPTION
All facets of the arts, literature, painting, music, dance, and photography reigned supreme in an atmosphere where racial distinctions had no place. It was a moment in time when the arts created a utopian culture, bringing importance to African American art and inspiring future generations of artists and intellectuals.
The portrait of African American life, identity, and culture that emerged from the Harlem Renaissance challenged the racist stereotypes of the Jim Crow South. How did this come about?
Names like Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Langston Hughes, Jacob Lawrence, and James Van der Zee still resonate today.

COURSE LEADER
Wendy Worth has taught many history of art courses at Evergreen Forum. She has a background in the history of art and is also an expert on birds.
