This issuance celebrates one of the great artistic and literary movements in American history, the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s, which firmly established African Americans as a vital force in literature and the arts. Twenty stamps showcase four stylized pastel portraits of these literary figures: n Alain Locke, writer, philosopher, educator, and arts advocate; n Nella Larsen, novelist; n Arturo Alfonso Schomburg, bibliophile and historian; and n Anne Spencer, poet. African-inspired motifs are used as background elements of each portrait. The pane header shows a cityscape in silhouette with a sun in its midst and the issuance title "Voices of the Harlem Renaissance." The artist for these stamps was Gary Kelley. Art director Greg Breeding designed the stamps.
