Fire!! Devoted to Younger Negro Artists was a bold and provocative literary magazine first published in 1926 during the Harlem Renaissance. Spearheaded by members of the self-proclaimed “Niggerati” movement—including Wallace Thurman, Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Richard Bruce Nugent, and Aaron Douglas—the magazine aimed to push the boundaries of Black artistic expression. It rejected conservative ideals and instead embraced themes of racial identity, sexuality, class struggles, and the realities of urban Black life, often delving into subjects, such as homosexuality and prostitution, that were considered taboo at the time.
Many traditional Black leaders, particularly those who advocated for racial uplift through respectability, condemned Fire!! for its raw and unfiltered portrayal of Black experiences. Figures within the Black bourgeoisie saw the magazine as damaging to the race’s public image, fearing it reinforced negative stereotypes rather than elevating Black culture. Financial struggles and harsh criticism contributed to Fire!! producing only one issue, but its defiant spirit and commitment to artistic freedom left a lasting impact on Black literature and the Harlem Renaissance.
