USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The Harlem Renaissance was an artistic flowering of the “New Negro” movement as its participants celebrated their African heritage and embraced self-expression, rejecting long-standing-and often degrading-stereotypes.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Harlem Renaissance was a period of U.S. history marked by a burst of creativity within the African American community in the areas of art, music and literature. Centered within New York City’s Harlem, the Harlem Renaissance began roughly with the end of World War I in 1918 and continued into the mid-1930s.

Detailed explanation-4: -One of the factors contributing to the rise of the Harlem Renaissance was the Great Migration of African-Americans to northern cities between 1919 and 1926. The two major causes that fueled the Great Migration were the Jim Crow segregation laws of the south and the start of World War I.
