"Harlem Renaissance" by Kelly King Howes explores the vibrant cultural, artistic, and intellectual explosion that took place in Harlem during the early 20th century. The story follows a young protagonist navigating life in this dynamic neighborhood, encountering iconic figures such as Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, and Duke Ellington. Through their experiences, the narrative delves into themes of identity, race, and the quest for self-expression. Set against the backdrop of jazz music, spirited debates, and poignant artistic creations, the book captures the essence of a transformative era that shaped African American culture and left an indelible mark on American history.
