BHC Theme: Reclaiming Our Renaissance: Our History. Our Legacy. Our Culture.

BHC Keynote: Brittany Packnett Cunningham

Join the Black Heritage Celebration Committee (BHC) in honoring the centennial anniversary of the Harlem Renaissance. In the late 1910s, three forces emerged simultaneously to fuel the growth of Harlem from an uptown city suburb, to a social, artistic, and cultural mecca for African Americans. Low-cost housing, a growing Black middle class, and the great migration from the south provided the momentum for this revival of Black expression. Scholars and poets like Dubois, Hughes, Hurston, and Fauset inspired what is called the golden age in African American culture.
