This website was created to unite two influential writers and artists and show how their contributions in the early 20th century transformed opinions of disenfranchised voice. The purpose of this website is to emphasize connections between modernism and the Harlem Renaissance through these and other key figures of the period by presenting these two authors side-by-side in a digital space in an attempt to place equal emphasis on these figures and their contributions. Additionally, our mission is to expand scholarly discussions around these two women and their respective periods, (re)establishing a Canonical position for those voices that have historically been forgotten and/or erased by creating a space for continued research and contributions to scholarly conversations surrounding these important figures and moments in time.
