         <p> I fell in love with the Harlem Renaissance movement my juinior year of high school. It was my favorite unit to learn, 
            and it not only had my academic interest but it spoke to me on a cultural level as a woman of color. Besides well known black activists,
            I had't heard about all these great writers and poets of color until I got to high school. It not only intrigued my love for poetry
            but made me see literature in a different light. Learning about the Harlem Renaissance movement created a feeling of pride within
           myself and showed me that people who looked like me weren't just entertainers but artists adding a new tone of expression to literature. </p>

         <p>This collection highlights the underlying messages and themes during the Harlem Renaissance Movement. 
            The Harlem Renaissance movement of literature, music and cultural production began between the 1920s 
            and early 1930s in New York's African-American community. It created a platform for a new style as 
            writers and developing a new sense of black identity, and visual artists (Poetry Foundation). Musicians crafted new ways 
            of the African-American experience and explored different artistic forms, techniques and story telling culture. It was essetially 
            a revolution of free expression through colorful music, literature and businesses My collection will tailor to an audience
            who appreciates the art of poetry during the Harlem Renaissance and those who are interested in the interpretation of these poems, as well as 
            questions for a reader to further their own interpretations.</p> <note> <figure>

Learning about the Harlem Renaissance movement created a feeling of pride within myself and showed me that people who looked like me weren't just entertainers but artists adding a new tone of expression to literature.
