THE HARLEM RENAISSANCE
During the early 1920s, thousands of African Americans seeking employment opportunities and discrimination relief from an oppressive South migrated North and settled in cities such as Chicago, Detroit, and New York.
In particular, New York’s Harlem neighborhood became a focal point for migrating African Americans, who settled and mixed with Caribbean migrants to form a uniquely American culture. Harlem became a hotbed for the celebration of African American culture in novels, poetry, and art.
Jean Tommer’s novel “Cane” was a plea to celebrate and preserve the rich history of African Americans. Through his novels, the militant Claude McKay presented the African American struggle for dignity in the face of discrimination. Langston Hughes celebrated the diversity of everyday life, and Zora Hurston brought to light the struggle for women’s rights.
Northern white America opened its eyes and embraced the artistic culture of the “New Negro”. Although the Harlem Renaissance ended due to the country’s Great Depression, its significance in regard to African American unity and identity would become a cornerstone of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and still influences American culture today.
Which of the following best describes the Harlem Renaissance?
The migration of African Americans north to cities such as Chicago, Detroit, and New York.
The blending of northern white and southern African American culture to form a new lifestyle.
A celebration of African American culture in literature and art during the 1920s.
The discrimination suffered by African Americans in northern cities such as Chicago and New York.
