About this episode
According to The Met, the Harlem Renaissance has not been surveyed in a New York museum since 1987. The museum's new exhibition, The Harlem Renaissance and Transatlantic Modernism, presents more than 160 works of various mediums examining the culturally rich period of Black American creativity in the early 20th century, with Harlem as its epicenter. For our ongoing Black History Month series dedicated to both famous and overlooked Black New Yorkers, we speak to curator Denise Murrell and preview the exhibition, which opens on February 25.
