"Through his artistic efforts the Negro is smashing this immemorial stereotype
faster than he has ever done through any other method he has been able to use.
... He is impressing upon the national mind the conviction that he is an active
and important force in American life; that he is a creator as well as a creature;
that he has given as well as received; that he is the potential giver of larger and
richer contributions
"I do not think it too much to say that through artistic achievement the
Negro has found a means of getting at the very core of the prejudice against him
by challenging the Nordic superiority complex. A great deal has been accom-
plished in this decade of renaissance."
-James Weldon Johnson, poet and secretary of the NAACP, Harper's, 1928
