Harlem is Everywhere Podcast - Ep. 1
Dear Research Network, Colleagues and Friends,
We hope you listen to the new and exciting podcast, Harlem is Everywhere. The first episode, "The New Negro" does not disappoint. Click here to listen now. The connection between the Civil Rights Era and the development of liberation theologies is well known. But the idea of the Harlem Renaissance as a precursor to the Civil Rights Era is, perhaps, a lesser known fact.

Show Notes
What was the Harlem Renaissance? During the Great Migration, major cities across America proved fertile ground for artists and intellectuals fleeing the Jim Crow South. In this episode we hear about Alain Locke’s famous anthology The New Negro: An Interpretation, which gathered some of the best of fiction, poetry, and essays on the art and literature emerging from these communities. Locke’s anthology demonstrated the diverse approaches to portraying modern Black life that came to characterize the “New Negro”—and embodied some of the highest ideals of the era.
