Harlem Renaissance (1917 -1935) Harlem was a cultural center, drawing black writers, artists, musicians, photographers, poets, and scholars. Many had come from the South, fleeing its oppressive system in order to find a place where they could freely express their talents. http: //www. pbs. org/wnet/jimcrow/stories_events_harlem. html
Claude Mckay Festus Claudius Mc. Kay, better known as Claude Mc. Kay, was a key figure in the Harlem Renaissance, a prominent literary movement of the 1920 s. His work ranged from vernacular verse celebrating peasant life in Jamaica to fairly militant poems challenging white authority in America, and from generally straightforward tales of black life in both Jamaica and America to more philosophically ambitious fiction addressing instinctual/intellectual duality, which Mc. Kay found central to the black individual's efforts to cope in a racist society. Consistent in his various writings is his disdain for racism and the sense that bigotry's implicit stupidity renders its adherents pitiable as well as loathsome.
Claude Mckay (continued) Mc. Kay was born in Sunny Ville, Jamaica, in 1889. The son of peasant farmers, he was infused with racial pride and a great sense of his African heritage. At age seventeen Mc. Kay departed from Sunny Ville to apprentice as a woodworker in Brown's Town. But he studied there only briefly before leaving to work as a constable in the Jamaican capital, Kingston. In Kingston he experienced and encountered extensive racism, probably for the first time in his life. His native Sunny Ville was predominantly populated by blacks, but in substantially white Kingston blacks were considered inferior and capable of only menial tasks. Mc. Kay quickly grew disgusted with the city's bigoted society, and within one year he returned home to Sunny Ville. http: //www. poetryfoundation. org/bio/claude-mckay
