The defiant energy of the New Negro arts Movement that flourished between World War 1 and the Great Depression---more famously know as the Harlem Renaissance--was indelibly articulated by Langston Hughes: 'We younger Negro artist who create now intend to express our individual dark-shinned selves without fear or shame. If white people are pleased we are glad. If they are not, it doesn't matter. We build our temples for tomorrow, strong as we know how, and we stand on top of the mountain, free within ourselves."
