  11. @woodenmask then maybe just use some letters from people in Harlem to southern relatives (and responses)? Not sure how well BtW & WebDu work
  12. @woodenmask If you want to go really deep, add Delany, Garvey, James Weldon Johnson & Carter Woodson from before the Renaissance as well
  13. @woodenmask so I would focus on these strong voices before the H Ren: Washington, DuBois, Ida B Wells, Sojourner Truth, Bethune
  14. @woodenmask …one of the basic theses of DuBois Souls of Black Folk is that there was a unique black voice that WAS expressed
  15. @woodenmask Love the theme - I would focus more on the positive of the voices that were expressed...
  16. @woodenmask I can send you the docs I use for them if you want
  17. @woodenmask I try to situate each as responding to a different set of problems, 1 in north, 1 in south
  18. @woodenmask well, assuming you know neither is really connected with Harlem renaissance...
  19. @woodenmask how can I help?
