"I myself feel like a primitive man, like one who is at the same time both primitive and cultured painter. With me, being primitive is something inborn, I cannot be otherwise . . . My aim is to express in a natural way what I feel both rhythmically and spiritually —all that which has been saved up in my family of primitiveness and tradition."

— William H. Johnson

William H. Johnson, « Moon Over Harlem » (Lune au-dessus de Harlem), vers 1943-1944. Cette toile est une commémoration des émeutes de 1943 à Harlem, après que Robert Bandy, un soldat afro-américain, simple témoin de l’arrestation d’une femme noire pour tapage dans un hôtel, ait été tué par un policier. La police avait alors affirmé que Bandy aurait agressé un policier, qui a ensuite tiré sur Bandy alors que celui-ci s’enfuyait… L’événement provoqua des émeutes qui durèrent plusieurs jours et firent plusieurs morts.
