  Harlem Renaissance celebrates the centennial of the Harlem Renaissance e
 xperimental magazine “Fire!!” The first and only issue appeared on Novemb
 er 15\, 1926 and is remembered for its transgression of the era’s social 
 codes\, its formal experimentation\, and its unabashed manifesto embracin
 g Black art for art’s sake.\n\n“Fire!!” reflected the ethos and vision of
  the younger generation of the New Negro movement — including Langston Hu
 ghes\, Zora Neale Hurston\, and Wallace Thurman — who insisted on their a
 rtistic freedom\, without concern for the older generation’s preoccupatio
 n with respectability. The exhibition showcases correspondence\, early wr
 itten drafts\, photographs\, and artworks from these writers and thinkers
  as well as other contributors and friends\, drawn from Beinecke Library’
 s James Weldon Johnson Memorial Collection.\n\nCurator: Melissa Barton\,
