Claude McKay was a Jamaican-American writer and poet, who was a central figure of the Harlem Renaissance. His work often explored themes of racial identity, injustice, and the search for dignity. McKay's powerful verses, characterized by their lyrical quality and bold social commentary, challenged prevailing notions of race and belonging, leaving a significant mark on African American literature and diasporic thought.
