The Harlem Renaissance Heritage Pack covers a golden age in African American culture from about 1918 until the mid-1930s when a brave and talented group of Black musicians, artists, poets, novelists, actors, and public figures came together in New York City’s Harlem neighborhood. Fueled by the Great Migration, these notable figures established roots and took center stage while creatively expressing extraordinary pride in their culture. The zenith of this “flowering of Negro literature”, as James Weldon Johnson preferred to call the Harlem Renaissance, took place between 1924 and 1929, the year of the stock-market crash and the beginning of the Great Depression. The Harlem Renaissance is considered to have been a rebirth of the African American arts, and the intellectual, social, and artistic explosion caused all America to take note. This study is a wonderful precursor or follow-up to the Voices Heritage Pack as it covers significant figures of this time period.
Target grades: 3rd – 6th grade. These lessons can easily extend down to younger siblings who are ready for the material because it includes many picture books, but the core book is aimed at target ages and older.
Lessons scheduled: 24 weekly lessons. You can do 24 consecutive weeks (two terms) or spread the lessons out over a full 36-week school year. Without the core and optional books, you can also reduce the study down to a single 12-week term.
What’s included:
- A list of recommended titles with book summaries and integrated at-a-glance lesson plans
- Lesson-by-lesson suggested page breakdowns and plans that combine books for a cohesive program
- Two optional chapter books for a more robust study, if desired.
- Two companion books not shown here and 18 free video suggestions that bring the stories to life with real imagery
- Access to a digital page with pictures and direct links to purchase all of the books along with future updates to broken links, book updates/replacements, and other notes to enhance your experience, as needed.
The Harlem Renaissance Heritage Pack includes these great titles along with two companion books, an additional chapter book, and twelve picture books to offer an in-depth exploration of this fascinating era.

Learn about the Harlem Renaissance!
A wonderful resource for learning about the Harlem Renaissance! Includes book recommendations and lesson plans. Although targeted to grades 3-6, older kids and adults would get a lot out of this pack too!
Fantastic resource!
The Harlem Renaissance Heritage Pack covers an important era in African American history and culture. This resource includes lesson plans, video links and suggested book lists and can easily be adapted for home or the classroom. I’m a parent using it at home with my daughter and I’m excited to be able to teach her about the Harlem Renaissance with this wonderful resource from Heritage Mom! Thank you!
Awesome Packet
Thanks so much for creating this packet. I decided to move away from Civil Rights Movement and backtrack to Harlem Renaissance with my students in the middle of the year. Well I had some planning to do and didn’t feel like it. Thanks to this packet, I have what I need and more to ensure my students get a fun, informative lesson on the Harlem Renaissance. Thanks for the thorough research completed to put this packet together.
Thanks!
This curriculum is beautifully put together and the heart and soul put into it is evident! We are just getting started , but looking forward to learning more and so happy I am able to offer a “window” such as this to my kiddos! Thanks eAmber!
Excited to start Harlem Renaissance Stomp! Heritage Pack
I am so impressed with the amount of research that has been put into the Harlem Renaissance Heritage Pack. It would have taken me a long time to personally track down all these resources. Thanks, HeritageMom for doing all this groundwork. It is worth much more to me than the $9.95 that I paid!
