“In 1925 preeminent Harlem Renaissance figure Alain Locke was given the editorial reins to a special edition of influential progressive review The Survey Graphic. Drawing on “the greatest Negro community the world has known,” as he described his environs, Locke—Rhodes Scholar, philosopher, literary critic—was able to commission many of the movement’s most enduring names for his project: historian Arthur Schomburg, poet Claude Mackey, essayists W. E. B. Du Bois and Charles S. Johnson, and the artist Winold Reiss, to name a few. Titled Harlem: Mecca of the New Negro, the ninety-two-page publication contained essays, poems, and occasional artwork, and brought heightened national exposure to the intellectual and cultural frenzy of black New York. Locke would continue his exhibition of Harlem in The New Negro: An Interpretation of Negro Life, published the same year. Considered a seminal anthology of the Harlem Renaissance, The New Negro was a book-length successor to Locke’s Survey Graphic effort.”

Summary: “Through a series of paintings, Jacob Lawrence illustrates the mass exodus of African-Americans who moved to the North in search for a better life. Lawrence's parents were among those who migrated between 1916-1919, considered the first wave of the migration. The Great Migration was the largest movement of black people since slavery removed Africans to the Americas. The paintings are accompanied by captions that combine history, sociology, and poetry. Documents Lawrence's cycle of 60 paintings, collectively titled "The Migration of the Negro," painted in 1940-1941, now in the collections of The Phillips Collection and The Museum of Modern Art. Lawrence's original narrative text accompanies the color plates; his 1993 revised text appears in the checklist.
