More Info
The Harlem Renaissance, a golden age in African American culture, was a period of rich artistic activity. Literature, music, stage performance, and art erupted from the 1910s to the mid-1930s. Artists proclaimed pride in Black life and identity, shared the truths of inequality, and shared their ideas for the changing modern world.
