Aaron Douglas
On this date in 1979 Aaron Douglas died in Nashville, Tennessee. Douglas, an African American artist, was closely associated with the Harlem Renaissance. His works combined elements of African art with a modern European aesthetic.
Please find one fact, must be different than everyone elses, about Aaron Douglas. You need to define the Harlem Renaissance, tell when when this period began and ended and give me one other person from this time period.
Thank you,
Ms. R.
