Conduct research on the person that you choose finding both biographical information and the affect the person had on the cultural changes that took place during the Harlem renaissance. Your final product must convey your research. Only two projects per class will be allowed on an individual. For example: Two projects in a class period over Augusta Savage will be allowed. If a third individual or group in the same class period asks to do their project on Augusta Savage, they would have to select a second choice.
