 So Professor Tiffany Ruby Patterson, we spent a lot of time in Eatonville, but this book is considered a Harlem Renaissance book. How much time did she spend in Harlem? She didn't spend as much time in Harlem as many other writers, but she was there. She knew many of the major writers in the Harlem Renaissance. But I think she is considered part of the Harlem Renaissance because of when she was writing.
