McKay, Claude McKay Brown Brothers (b. Sept. 15, 1890, Jamaica, British West Indiesd. May 22, 1948, Chicago), Jamaican-born poet and novelist whose Home to Harlem (1928) was the most popular novel written by an American black to that time. Before going to the U.S. in 1912, he wrote two volumes of Jamaican dialect verse, Songs of Jamaica and Constab Ballads After attending Tuskegee Institute (1912) and Kansas State Teachers College (1912-14), McKay went to New York in 1914, where he contributed regularly to The Liberator , then a leading journal of avant-garde politics and art. The shock of American racism turned him from the conservatism of his youth. With the publication of two volumes of poetry, Spring in New Hampshire (1920) and Harlem Shadows (1922), McKay emerged as the first and most militant voice of the Harlem Renaissance q.v. ). After 1922 McKay lived successively in the Soviet Union, France, Spain, and Morocco. In both Home to Harlem and Banjo (1929), he attempted to capture the vitality and essential health of the uprooted black vagabonds of urban America and Europe. There followed a collection of short stories, Gingertown (1932), and another novel

The Harlem Renaissance: Zora Neale Hurston and Claude McKay Zora Neale Hurston * Personal History Zora Neale Hurston was the first African-American woman "to create language and imagery that reflected the reality of black women's lives" (Wall, 371). This language and imagery that Hurston is known for was a result of the childhood she spent in Eatonville, Florida, the first incorporated all-black town in America. The most accepted date of her birth is January 7, 1901, but the issue has been debated because other birth dates are possible as well. The seventh child in a family of eight, her only sister Sarah was her father's favorite child, so Hurston naturally drew closer to her mother. Thus, when her mother died, while Hurston was a child, her life changed dramatically. Hurston and two of her siblings were sent to boarding school for a year, during which time their father re-married. Because their step-mother did not want the responsibility of caring for them, the children were sent to live with different relatives. After several years, Hurston left to work for a traveling theater troupe, but left this troupe in Baltimore so that she could continue her education. Working her way through high school, Hurston eventually graduated from the Morgan Academy in 1918, then spent a few years at Howard University, in Washington, D.C. While at Howard, Hurston belonged to the campus literary club, Stylus, which was headed by Alain Locke. Locke was known for his dislike of women, and, at the first day of classes, he would guarantee an automatic "C" to any female student who would not show up to his class for the remainder of the semester. However, Hurston, who was deeply inspired by Locke, was determined to remain involved in Stylus until she moved to Harlem in 1925.

His protest poetry of the late 1910s and the early 1920s was seen by many of his contemporaries as the premier example of the New Negro spirit. His novels were sophisticated considerations of the problems and possibilities of Pan-Africanism at the end of the colonial era, influencing writers of African descent throughout the world. His early poetry in Jamaican patois and his fiction set in Jamaica are now seen as crucial to the development of a national Jamaican literature. McKay's parents, Thomas Francis McKay and Hannah Ann McKay, were prosperous farmers by the standards of Sunny Ville, Jamaica, the town where McKay was born. Through the efforts of his brother Uriah Theodore, a schoolteacher, and of Walter Jekyll, an

Trauma Summary The title announces the event described in the poem: the lynching of a black man, already burned to a char by an angry mob. Opening lines emphasize ascendency of spirit, from the "swinging char" to the father in heaven in whose bosom the hanged man will dwell. The spiritual tone is replaced, however, by an account of the cruelties inflicted on this tortured man and the behavior of sorrowless women and children dancing around the "dreadful thing in fiendish glee." Commentary Class discussions of cultural differences, distinctions, and commonalities usually include an examination of the impact of historical events contributing to cultural shapes and expressions. McKay's poem recounts a grisly chapter of history to portray what can happen when groups are subordinated or marginalized. African-Americans continue to struggle for equality, especially in education and healthcare. While the lynched man is dead, a diseased or infected population remains to endanger the well-being of the fragile social fabric.
