Toquam Elementary School
The figurative artwork created by the 5th Graders at Toquam Elementary School were inspired by poems written by the most creative African American individuals in the Harlem Renaissance. These well-known poems include “Dream Variations” by Langston Hughes, “Still I Rise” by Maya Angelou, and “In the Land of Words” by Eloise Greenfield.
