"The Whites who read that issue of the Survey Graphic became aware that in Harlem, the largest Negro city in the world, there existed a group interested in the fine arts, creative literature, and classical musiC. So, well-meaning vapid [dull] Whites from downtown New York came by bus, súbway, or in limousines, to see for themselves these Negroes who wrote poetry and fiction and painted pictures. "Of course, said these pilgrims it couldn't approach the creative results of Whites but as a novelty.well, it didn't need standards. The very fact that these Blacks had the temerity to produce so-called Art, and not its quality, made the whole fantastic movement so alluring __ "News that Harlem had become a paradise spread rapidly and from villages and towns all over America __ there began a [Black]migration of quaint [eccentric] characters, each with a message, who descended upon Harlem, sought out the cafes, lifted teacups with a jutting little finger,and dreamed of sponsors."
