       Seeking to counter the degrading and widely disseminated caricature ­of Blacks in popular culture, James VanDerZee photographed Harlem weddings, funerals, clubs as well as artists, writers, movers and strivers of the #HarlemRenaissance VanDerZee crafted portraits that were meticulously staged to celebrate the images his subjects wanted to project.
