History and criteria[edit]

A version of this list used to be part of the Harlem Renaissance page, but it was both long and unsourced, and the entire list was deleted from the page back in June 2017. I think this list could be useful as a resource for people who want to know more about the subject, and the list has the advantage over the same-named Category of being broken down by professions as an aid to researchers. As created, this list only includes figures who appear in some edition of the Encyclopedia of the Harlem Renaissance or whose close connection to the movement is made clear in another reliable source.
