Black Brooklyn Renaissance Conference
Black Culture/Black Performance, 1960-2010
The Harlem Renaissance is the project's symbolic point of departure, in that the literary and jazz-infused Harlem era of the early-20th century finds a powerful counterpoint in Brooklyn of the mid- to late-20th century to the present. In this era, Brooklyn has evolved as a site of diverse Black cultures: African American, Afro-Caribbean, and West African diasporic.
