Crisis Advertisement 1921

This item is an advertisement page published in the advertiser section of The Crisis magazine. This specific issue was published in March of 1921, The Crisis volume 21, number 5. This specific issue was published during the time of the Harlem Renaissance which began approximately around 1920. This specific page includes four training school and university advertisements geared towards African American youth, some for men and woman and others only for men. The top advertisement from the National Training School in Durham, North Carolina states that graduates are already “filling many responsible positions, thus demonstrating the aim of the school to train men and women for useful citizenship.” This connects to the advertisement from the Trustees of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute as they both explain the influence that the schools have on graduates as citizens and how they further impact the community. This document also shows the types of schools that are being created during this time period and what type of goals they have for their graduates.
