Nora Zeale Hurston, the author of Their Eyes Were Watching God was part of a movement known as the Harlem Renaissance in the 1920's/ Harlem was the center of African American cultural identity. Its politics, art, literature, and music expressed the rebirth of the African American spirit; the “New Negro Movement” was born in the minds of its poets and in the hearts of its common people and was expressed in music, essays, artwork, and dance.

You live in Harlem and want to show its rich culture to outsiders. Your creative team of advertising experts has been hired to showcase the attractions of Harlem. Your employers want you to design a newsmagazine highlighting the attractions of the Harlem during the period of the Harlem Renaissance. Make sure it looks as though it were produced between 1920 and 1929. Be sure to include information and illustrations for the following sections: The Jazz Scene [i.e., the Cotton Club, The Apollo Theater, The Savoy Ballroom, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, Fletcher Henderson] Singers [i.e., Billie Holiday, Bessie Smith, Ethel Waters, Lena Horne] Dance [i.e., The Shimmy, The Cakewalk, The Charleston, The Lindy Hop] Poetry [i.e., Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen, Claude McKay, Jean (Eugene Toomer)] Writers [i.e., Zora Neale Hurston, Jessie Fauset, Alain Locke] Art [i.e., William H. Johnson, Jacob Lawrence, Aaron Douglas, Lois Mailou Jones] Politics [i.e., Marcus Garvey, W. E. B. Du Bois, James Weldon Johnson] Be certain to write a minimum of three paragraphs for each section (one full page) and include one picture per page. You should layout each page with interesting graphics and design to give it the look of a magazine. You can create you work using a google or word doc or another program for design.
