Harlem Renaissance

During the Harlem renaissance African Americans began to migrate to Harlem, New York making it prodominatly black neighborhood. Many African americans moved from their rural living to urban cities. They made their own style of art, and music and redefined expressions of African-Americans and their heritage. everyone called this "The New Negro Movement".

I chose the harlem renaissance as my topic because it has alot to do with art. Many artist was able to express this movement through art dance, music, theatre, literature and poetry rather than just stating the facts. The art that was made looks very urban with alot of bright colors and its very descriptive without doing so much detailing. It was a historic moment that showed the middle class African Americans making a mark in history.
