Described as the "New Negro Movement" and the "flowering of Negro literature", the Harlem Renaissance was the name of the cultural, social and artistic explosion that took place in Harlem between 1917 and 1935. Black writers, scholars, artists, musicians, photographers and poets flocked to Harlem where they could freely express themselves. But it was more than a literary movement...it was also a time of racial pride. On the next Another View poets and authors Tim Seibles, Remica Bingham and Shonda Buchanan give us a history lesson on the Harlem Renaissance and share the similarities between African American artists then and today.

April is "Minority Health Month" - and also the commemoration of the 30th anniversary of "The Report of the Secretary's Task Force on Black and Minority Health", also known as the "Heckler Report". This groundbreaking report was the first time the US government convened a group of health experts to conduct a comprehensive study of the health status of minorities in this country. As a result of this report, additional studies were done, such as the Jackson Heart Study that explored disparties in cardiovascular health and the Healthy Start program that brought infant mortality prevention to underserved communities. In addition, national standards were set to give guidance to health care workers on how to provide respectful and responsive services to minority patients. On the next Another View we'll examine the health issues that still plague African Americans, including obesity which is the driving force behind almost all diseases prevalent in the Black community.
