"Although scholars have only recently begun to analyze the music and literature of Chicago's Black Renaissance, there has been little examination of its . . . design arts. For this reason, the symposium 'African-American Designers: The Chicago Experience Then and Now' . . . was especially noteworthy in showcasing scholars' work in design art from this period, as well as the accomplishments of first and second generations of African-American design artists in Chicago."
