Harlem Renaissance (Bibliography)

Original Query

Subject: T/Q: Materials on Harlem Renaissance

***T/Q: TEXT/QUERY***

Here is a short, but ambitious request for materials on the Harlem Renaissance. This is a huge topic, of course. But if people contribute a title or two each, we should be able to put together a nice set of resources for ourselves.
Personally, I would enjoy seeing interesting groupings people have discovered between traditionally literary and nonliterary pieces in the Harlem Renaissance. Any other materials--per the posting--on anthologies and A-V materials are most welcome too.
