[00:00:00]May 22, Claude McKay and Harlem Renaissance Fire. This is one minute museum. One powerful, positive piece of black history. On May 22, we honor Claude McKay, a Jamaicanborn writer who became one of the strong literary voices of the Harlem Renaissance. Claude McCay wrote with fire, beauty, pride, and courage. His poems and novels helped shape how black people saw themselves in America and around the world. He showed that black writing could be bold. It could be elegant. It could be international. It could speak from Jamaica, Harlem, Europe, and the whole African diaspora. Claude McKay reminds us that black history does not live in one city or one country. It travels wherever black genius carries it. This is one minute museum with Oruronz, where positive black history speaks fast and lasts forever.
