How were the Harlem Renaissance and the Great Migration inextricably linked? Summarize each movement and give examples of some of the women artists–painters, musicians, writers– that emerged as a result of the Harlem Renaissance.

History-Week Three Discussion

Write a MINIMUM 250-300-word essay, using at least THREE citations from our classroom readings, lectures and web sites and other reliable outside sources that you find relating to the subject. Be sure to cite your sources of information; you can do this by using parentheses (rather than footnotes), citing an abbreviation for the source and then the page number. For example: (Wheeler lecture or Lerner article). The important thing about any citation is that it should make clear to the reader where you have found your information. If you’re using a source from outside the classroom, abbreviate that source’s name in your text and then include the full citation at the end of your essay.

Oh yes–spelling and grammar count! Spell check was made for lousy spellers (like me). Use it.
