Description

[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Jazz is revolutionizing the white man's music; Negro art is introducing new forms into the old Greek styles; Negro dancing is putting more vigor and joy into that art; Negro comedy is making humor more spontaneous, and so on. Under Negro influence white civilization is undergoing a renaissance. Books, magazine articles and reviews continue to testify to this fact.
