"The would-be black savant was confronted by the paradox that the knowledge his people needed was a twice-told tale to his white neighbors,
while the knowledge which would teach the white world was Greek to his
own flesh and blood. The innate love of harmony and beauty that set the
ruder souls of his people a-dancing and a-singing raised but confusion and
doubt in the soul of the black artist; for the beauty revealed to him was the
soul-beauty of a race which his larger audience despised, and he could not
articulate the message of another people." This quote from the last
paragraph of this excerpt can be seen as an explanation of the need for the
Harlem Renaissance. Which of the following would be the best
justification?
A The art that Black people created seemed to only be understood by Black people
B Even though White audiences despised Black expressions of art, Black people still
needed to create it
C The love of harmony and beauty were driving forces for Black art to be created
D All of the above
