Seeking to counter the degrading and widely disseminated caricature of Blacks in popular culture, James VanDerZee photographed Harlem weddings, funerals, clubs as well as artists, writers, movers and strivers of the #HarlemRenaissance
VanDerZee crafted portraits that were meticulously staged to celebrate the images his subjects wanted to project. And nowhere is this pride more evident than in this 1932 photo of a couple sporting raccoon coats beside a Cadillac roadster

Another book I'm really excited about: Harlem Sunset by Nekesia Afia. A mystery in the Golden Age style, set in the Harlem Renaissance—a period and movement I'm very interested in. It looks terrific! https://www.nekesaafia.com/ #bookstodon #harlemrenaissance #mystery #blackhistory

I love hearing the old #stride #piano recordings from the 20s & 30s & so it was a pleasure to go a little deeper into the archive with this enjoyable programme from #BBC #Radio3, discovering Willie 'the Lion' Smith, & with a technical explanation from Wynton #Marsalis. Looking forward to more this week! #jazz #HarlemRenaissance
