The Movement showed new african cultural and artistic expressions. The Harlem renaissance was a rebirth to all american arts. Although the movement was centered in Harlem, there were many african american writers from african and caribbean colonies were influenced.
After the Harlem Renaissance many people with money can become an artist. The Harlem Renaissance is generally considered to have spanned
from about 1918 until the mid-1930s (Wikipedia).The Civil Rights movement, music, and wanting freedom has a major part in modern black society. The Harlem Renaissance started when millions of blacks went north because of bad conditions in the South. That movement was called The Great Migration. When black people moved north, they moved in with other black people. Most black people move to New york and Chicago. These communities was a breeding ground for art and literature. In the society today, we see the black society as a serious source of art, literature, and especially music(Encarta).
