Common misconceptions
- Treating Harlem Renaissance as solely literary — also music (jazz + blues), visual art (Douglas + Savage), political organizing (Garvey UNIA + NAACP)
- Treating Great Migration as economic-only — also racial-terror flight from Jim Crow lynching (4,400+ documented 1877-1950 per EJI 2017) AND pull of Northern + Western opportunities
- Treating women's changing roles as universal — middle-class white women's flapper image is not the experience of Black + immigrant + working-class women
