Detailed explanation-1: -Most importantly, the Harlem Renaissance instilled in African Americans across the country a new spirit of self-determination and pride, a new social consciousness, and a new commitment to political activism, all of which would provide a foundation for the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s.
Detailed explanation-2: -More than a literary movement and more than a social revolt against racism, the Harlem Renaissance exalted the unique culture of African Americans and raised racial consequences. African Americans were encouraged to celebrate their heritage and become “The New Negro."
Detailed explanation-3: -Artists associated with the movement asserted pride in black life and identity, a rising consciousness of inequality and discrimination, and interest in the rapidly changing modern world-many experiencing a freedom of expression through the arts for the first time.
