– Why was the Harlem Renaissance such an important time in American—not just African-American—cultural history?
– Compare and contrast the ideas that W. E. B. DuBois and Booker T. Washington had for black economic freedom. What did each man want for his people? (You will need to skip back in the text to find out more about B. T. Washington; use the index.)
