Legacy: Women Poets of the Harlem Renaissance

In Legacy, Nikki Grimes explores the voices and visions of female poets of the Harlem Renaissance, a movement that sparked a cultural and artistic explosion in the African American community during the 1920s and 1930s. Through a series of original poems and creative responses, Grimes both celebrates and re-envisions the work of these influential poets, offering a bridge between the past and present for young readers.
