[Ads-l] Further Antedating of "Harlem Renaissance"

[Shapiro, Fred]

Harlem Renaissance (OED 1940)

1929 _Macon Telegraph_ 3 Mar. (Sunday Magazine) 37/1 (Newspapers.com)

Here Mr. Heyward has sketched the progress of the Harlem renaissance.

NOTE: This occurs in a review by A. B. Bernd of Du Bose Heyward's book _Mamba's Daughters.  The meaning of "Harlem renaissance" in this citation is apparently broader than a purely literary movement.
