It was a dazzling time when there was an outpouring of the arts of African Americans--the poetry of Langston Hughes; the novels of Zora Neale Hurston; the sculptures of Augusta Savage and that brand-new music called jazz as only Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong could play it. Author Sherri Smith traces Harlem's history all the way to its seventeenth-century roots, and explains how the early-twentieth-century Great Migration brought African Americans from the deep South to New York City and gave birth to the golden years of the Harlem Renaissance.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49324608454960,"sku":"BDerqn","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/538082-erqn-Square.jpg?v=1733551639","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-erqn","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
