On this day, 'Survey Graphic' published a special issue titled "Harlem, Mecca of the New Negro." By the end of the year, editor Alain Locke had reprinted and expanded upon the writings from this issue, producing a full-length anthology of African-American writing called 'The New Negro.' This anthology, known as the Manifesto of the Harlem Renaissance, included works by established figures such as James Weldon Johnson, William Stanley Braithwaite, W.E.B. DuBoise, and Claude McKay, and introduced rising stars like Countee Cullen, Langston Hughes, Jean Toomer, and Zora Neale Hurston.
