Detailed explanation-1: -Harlem Renaissance Ends The end of Harlem’s creative boom began with the stock market crash of 1929 and The Great Depression. It wavered until Prohibition ended in 1933, which meant white patrons no longer sought out the illegal alcohol in uptown clubs.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Harlem Renaissance was a period in American history from the 1920s and 1930s. During this time, many African-Americans migrated from the South to Northern cities, seeking economic and creative opportunities.

Detailed explanation-3: -Social problems caused a decrease in Harlem’s population during the late 1960’s through the 1970’s, leaving behind a high concentration of underprivileged residents and a fast decaying housing stock. Despite the rough days of the previous few decades, Harlem is presently experiencing a new renaissance.

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.
