The Harlem Renaissance was filled with African American creativity. The Renaissance brought much of the music, poetry, dancing and singing that people have today. The African Americans that lived in Harlem during the 1920s had contributed much to talent that helped blacks reach equality (The New 200).
The Harlem Renaissance was not known as an event but it was known as a process. The Harlem Renaissance was an era in which African Americans celebrated their culture (Haskins 11). During the mass migration of African Americans from the rural and agricultural south to the urban and industrial north, many of them settled in Harlem. Harlem got its name from the original settlers of Manhattan Island’s Dutch colony around 1650.Harlem is a residential and business section of upper Manhattan, New York (Columbia 322). ... African American poets and authors were engaged in their own creative flowering in Harlem and in other cities nationwide (American 127). The Harlem Renaissance refers to the work of black novelists who lived in the Harlem district of New York.
