The most famous of the Afro-American painters was Henry O. Tanner, who had made his reputation before the Negro Renaissance.

They show that from the beginning there had been acceptance of our right to insist on free transit, in whatever form was best, across the Isthmus; and that towards the end there had been a no less universal feeling that it was our duty to the world to provide this transit in the shape of a canal the resolution of the Pan-American Congress was practically a mandate to this effect.
The wave of rebellion swept over me in an instant, beginning with an heretical doubt as to the sanctity of the established order of things that fetish which has ruled Pan-Americans for two centuries, and which is based upon a blind faith in the infallibility of the prescience of the long-dead framers of the articles of Pan-American federation and ending in an adamantine determination to defend my honor and my life to the last ditch against the blind and senseless regulation which assumed the synonymity of misfortune and treason.
