From "Progress Report" by Sonia Sanchez, which concludes _The 1619 Project_ book (large print edition). Curriculum development reflection: _The 1619 Project_ offers an amazing tryptich of the past century: #BLM at the center, with #HarlemRenaissance on one side and #BlackArtsMovement on the other. Langston Hughes and Sonia Sanchez book-ending Nikole Hannah-Jones et al.

I just discovered that there are TONS of audio clips of the great Zora Neale Hurston on YouTube. And that includes her singing! I'm particularly fond of the Crow Dance and, as her roaring claps indicate, she was singing AND dancing in front of the mic. She sounds like she was a blast to hang out with. If you haven't read THEIR EYES WERE WATCHING GOD, you should. There are also two handsome LOA volumes, both of which I have.
