In this journal from Louisa we follow her everyday life and the people and things she sees from 1858 to 1865. Most of these journal entries are just her jotting down her current thoughts. In one of the journal entries you can see her be quite indifferent to a sentence being said about " mere morality" she said she finds it confusing and that she found something to do with this mere morality to be a dangerous possession. Louisa writes whatever she finds to be interesting or raising a question within her morals or within her mind. In this journal she either combats what was mentioned throughout the day but she could not say it out loud or she agrees in silence but explains it in the journal.

This is unrelated to The time period of Harlem but it's an important aspect of history I felt necessary to include, this Face mask of oval form with multi-perforations on two sides and a raised H-shaped panel in the center. This rare mask is worn by an executioner or "Kumi" during circumcision rituals and funerals of the Lilwa society. The side areas are painted with a mixture of kaolin and palm oil and the middle or center section is stained a dark brown and is highly patinated.

This piece depicts an artist in his studio, but the painting is described as “a sort of protest painting” of his own economic and social standing as well as that of his fellow African Americans. Hayden said his friend Cloyd Boykin, an artist who, like Hayden, had supported himself as a janitor, inspired this piece: “I painted it because no one called Boykin the artist. They called him the janitor.” Details within the cramped apartment — the duster and the trashcan, for example — point to the janitor’s profession; the figure’s dapper clothes and beret, much like those Hayden himself wore, point to his artistic pursuits. Hayden’s use of perspective was informed by modern art practices, which favored abstraction and simplified forms. He originally exaggerated the figure’s facial features, which many of his contemporaries criticized as African American caricatures, but later altered the painting. He maintained the janitor as the protagonist as it represented larger civil rights issues within the African American community.

This piece was made by Aaron Douglas and is a panel series of four murals. The four panels revealed the emergence of Black America, beginning with life in Africa and tracing the history of African Americans through slavery, emancipation, and the rebirth of African traditions. Slavery Through Reconstruction answered a crucial calling. It was 1934 – the peak of the Great Depression and the philosopher Alain Locke inspired the Harlem Renaissance. Aaron Douglas was one of the artists who filled this need. The Federal Arts Project funded him with a New York Public Library project. The mission was to: create murals about the African American experience. This painting focuses on African Americans after the Civil War. Douglas reveals a transition from the left side of the painting to the right. It represents traveling from the pre-war South to the post-war North.

She created intimate portraits of friends and family, and self-portraits, and commissioned works for national and international expositions. her works represent broad themes as African-American artists and sought to formulate and celebrate an African-American cultural identity and express racial experience and social issues in America.

Jean Toomer was born in 1894 in Washington, D.C. When Jean was younger he refused to be classified by his race which translated into his work in literature. Jean often wrote about how African Americans have been portrayed in America. In 1922, Toomer moved to Sparta, Georgia where he was a school principle. Here is where he would start writing about African American experience. Here he also published his most infamous work, "Cane" which was a book involving a variety of short stories and poems. He has been known as one of the most influential writes of the Harlem Renaissance from his work in Cane. However, after writing Cane, Toomer was not really published all that much and his career ended dying. He continued to write up until 1950 but nothing being as well known as Cane.
