Modern Library Harlem Renaissance

In 1923, the Urban League's Opportunity magazine made its first appearance. Spearheaded by the noted sociologist Charles S. Johnson, it became, along with the N.A.A.C.P.'s Crisis magazine, one of the vehicles that drove the art and literature of the Harlem Renaissance. As a way of attracting writers such as Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston, Johnson conducted literary contests that were largely funded by Casper Holstein, the infamous Harlem numbers gangster, who contributed
several essays in addition to money.
Dorothy West, Nella Larsen, and Arthur Schomburg were among Opportunity's contributors. Many of the pieces included in The Opportunity Reader have not been seen since their publication in the magazine, whose motto was "Not alms, but opportunity."

The fertile artistic period now known as the Harlem Renaissance (1920-1930) gave birth to many of the world-renowned masters of black literature and is the model for today's renaissance of black writers.

Very Small
These are tiny! Just perfect for my little dogs but one was lost within the first few minutes so I had to order another. I'm not so sure how safe it is for the fur children to chew on non-edible, non-digestible plastics but they seem to really like them.

A Hit with Both My Puppy and Older Dog!
I bought the Nylabone Moderate Chew FlexiChew Bone in the peanut butter and bacon flavor for my new puppy, and he absolutely loves them! What’s even better is that my other dog is just as obsessed with them, so it's been a hit with both. The size is perfect for my tiny puppy, and the flavor keeps them both engaged for a long time. These bones are durable enough to last, even with moderate chewing, and they help satisfy their natural chewing instincts. If you’re looking for a great chew toy for both puppies and small dogs, I highly recommend these Nylabones. They’re a definite favorite in our household!

My dogs love them
Size: Large, Style: Peanut Butter
One of the few toys my pit bulls can't break. They absolutely love these toys and play chase with them. Usually, they can break toys in less than 5 minutes, but not these.
