Notes:

"The cover rendering of his painting 'Song of the Towes' (1934) was done by Aaron Douglas especially for this volume."

"This anthology has been compiled and organized both to establish the context in which the art of the Harlem Renaissance occurred and to provide the reader with a broad range of the work characteristic of the period. The selection has been made with an eye to historical and social significance as well as artistic merit."--Introduction.
