Notable Trade Book Lesson Plan: Harlem Stomp! A Cultural History of the Harlem Renaissance

Abstract

This lesson plan is an introduction to the Harlem Renaissance through the award winning, thorough, resource text for youth, Harlem Stomp! A Cultural History of the Harlem Renaissance by Laban Carrick Hill. The Harlem Borough was a place in New York where African Americans migrated and overtly celebrated their cultural capital and rich heritage from the turn of the Twentieth Century through the nineteen forties. Countless artists, writers, poets, musicians, philosophers, and intellectuals contributed to landscape which left an indelible historical identity. Equality and justice characterized the era, continued to influence the country through civil rights, and persists to the present day
