Harlem Renaissance Poet’s Salon
Celebrate National Poetry Month and the Festival of Literary Arts (FoLA) at the Poet's Day Party - Harlem Renaissance Style!
During the Harlem Renaissance, salons were gathering spaces, often hosted by influential figures, where leading African American intellectuals, artists, writers, and activists convened to discuss art, culture, politics, and life.
