About the Book
This photo essay is an interpretation of the poem, “From the Dark Tower” by Harlem Renaissance poet Countee Cullen. The Schomburg Junior Scholars used the poem as a window into the attitudes and desires of the African Diaspora during this historical period of artistic and intellectual assertion. The Junior Scholars then went on to respond to the poem with the texture of today's Black Voice.
