It was a dazzling time when there was an outpouring of the arts of African Americans--the poetry of Langston Hughes; the novels of Zora Neale Hurston; the sculptures of Augusta Savage and that brand-new music called jazz as only Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong could play it. Author Sherri Smith traces Harlem's history all the way to its seventeenth-century roots, and explains how the early-twentieth-century Great Migration brought African Americans from the deep South to New York City and gave birth to the golden years of the Harlem Renaissance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith 80 fun black-and-white illustrations and an engaging 16-page photo insert, readers will be excited to read this latest addition to Who HQ!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Library Binding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Smith, Sherri L.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/28\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Workshop\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593225912\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.60w x 0.60d","brand":"Sherri L.
